I am wondering if a 36x27x28 mm nodule is considered large or small. And what is the difference between mm and cm.

Hi,
a 36mm x 27 mm x 28 mm nodule = 3.6 cm x 2.6 cm x 2.8 cm.
This is a large nodule. Small nodules are 1 cm (10 mm) or less.
I suspect the doctor would want to biopsy and maybe remove a nodule of this size.
