Hi,
I think it would be better to wait for the PET report. This will narrow down the possible differential diagnoses.
It is not necessary that every irregularly shaped nodule is cancerous.
Best of Luck!
A related discussion,
13mm nodule was started.
are the size (13mm) and shape (irregular but not spiculated) charactersitics indicative of a benign or malignant tumor? from what i have read, the 13mm nodule, irregular shape, indicates moderate risks of malignancy.
thank you,

Hi,
Lung nodules may be caused by a wide variety of causes. Broadly, these can be classified as infective, inflammatory, and malignant.
It is difficult to estimate what is the cause of your lung nodules based only on your hstory and CT scan report.
PET may shed some more light on the possible causes, but may not be able to clinch the diagnosis. Further tests may be planned based on the PET report.
Do let me know the PET results.
All the best, and God Bless!
