Evolution of the subsolid pulmonary nodule: a retrospective study in patients with different neoplastic diseases in a nonscreening clinical context

摘要

Purpose The aims of this study were to evaluate the high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) features of subsolid pulmonary nodules (SSN) detected in cancer patients to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions, to assess their evolution during the follow-up, and to determine which neoplastic diseases are most frequently associated with the growth in size and/or density of SSN.
