Benign lung nodules

Benign lung nodules are non-cancerous growths or spots in the lungs often found incidentally during imaging tests like CT scans. They are usually small, round, and stable over time, not causing symptoms. Most benign nodules result from infections, scars, or inflammation, and tend not to grow or spread. While they are generally harmless, doctors monitor them to ensure they do not change, which could indicate a different problem. Proper evaluation helps distinguish benign nodules from potentially dangerous ones, providing reassurance and guiding appropriate follow-up or treatment if needed.
