Overview

Causes of pulmonary nodules can be classified into etiologies presenting with solitary or multiple lesions. Common causes of solitary pulmonary nodule include tuberculosis, primary lung cancer, granuloma, and rheumatic disease. Common causes of multiple pulmonary nodules include pulmonary neoplasms and tumor metastasis from other parts of the body.
