Soliter pulmoner nodüle yaklaşım

Soliter pulmoner nodül, radyolojik olarak çapı 3 cm'den küçük, parenkim içindeki akciğer lezyonu şeklinde tanımlanmaktadır. Soliter pulmoner nodülün değerlendirilmesindeki hedef, noninvaziv yoldan ve mümkün olduğunca doğru şekilde malign lezyonları benign olanlardan ayırmaktır. Malignite beklentisi yüksek olan hastalarda cerrahi girişim tercih edilir. Bu yazıda soliter pulmoner nodüle yaklaşım tartışılmaktadır.

Approach to solitary pulmonary nodules

A solitary pulmonary nodule is radiologically defined as an intraparenchymal lung lesion that is smaller than 3 cm in diameter. The goal of the evaluation of solitary pulmonary nodules is to differentiate benign from malignant lesions noninvasively and as accurately as possible. In patients with a high probability of malignancy, surgery is the preferred strategy. In this paper, the approach to solitary pulmonary nodules is reviewed.
