Malignant Pure Pulmonary Ground-Glass Opacity Nodules: Prognostic Implications
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate follow-up results in terms of patient prognosis for malignant pulmonary nodules depicted as pure ground-glass opacity (GGO) lesion observed at high-resolution CT (HRCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Surgical removal for malignant GGO nodules was accomplished in 58 patients (26 men, 32 women; mean age, 57 years; age range, 29-78 years). Patient prognoses ...
متن کاملCT-guided fine-needle localization of ground-glass nodules in re-aerated lung specimens: localization of solitary small nodules or multiple nodules within the same lobe.
PURPOSE We aimed to explore the value of localizing small ground-glass nodules (GGNs; <10 mm) or multiple GGNs within the same lobe in re-aerated lung specimens using CT-guided fine-needle localization. METHODS Thirty-five lung specimens containing single small GGNs (<10 mm) and eight specimens containing two or more GGNs in the same lobe were re-aerated with an inflatable aerator. All lesion...
متن کاملMulti‐slice computed tomography characteristics of solitary pulmonary ground‐glass nodules: Differences between malignant and benign
BACKGROUND Ground-glass nodules (GGNs), which are possible precursors of lung cancer, attract increasing attention. Many studies have attempted to identify the characteristic imaging features of GGNs for their qualitative diagnosis; however, the comprehension of GGNs remains controversial. We performed this study to identify imaging characteristics helpful to the differential diagnosis of solit...
متن کاملA clinicopathological study of resected pulmonary nodules with focal pure ground-glass opacity.
OBJECTIVE Pulmonary lesions with focal ground-glass opacity (GGO) have been detected increasingly by low-dose helical computed tomography (CT). However, the strategy of treatment for focal pure GGO lesions is still undecided. This study evaluates clinicopathological characteristics of resected pulmonary nodules with focal pure ground-glass opacity. METHODS Between January 1997 and December 20...
متن کاملNatural history of pure ground-glass opacity lung nodules detected by low-dose CT scan.
BACKGROUND Although focal ground-glass opacity (GGO) lung nodules are generally reported to grow slowly, their natural course is unclear. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the natural course of screening-detected pure GGO lung nodules in patients with no history of malignancy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the database of subjects who had undergone screenings involving low-dose...
