What Does The Following X-ray Report Suggest?
Hi Doctor Three months ago I had a routine chest X-ray . I was surprise to hear I have3.5 nodule at the right lung base They say probably a vessel visualized on end or calcified granuloma . A few weeks later I have a cat scan that showed the same thing. I would like to have your advice is this something serious my doctor said is not a problem but to always have in the back of my mind that I have a nodule. I would appreciate your feed back Anabelle sande

Hello welcome to the health care magic
Post infectious calcified granuloma can occur.
If it is increasing in size than biopsy can be taken for histopathology examination.
If no clinical symptoms than no need to worry.
If needed at six month x ray can be repeated
Take care
Hope this will help you
Follow pulmonologoist advise after examination and if needed pulmonary function test can be done
