Solid Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodules Less Than or Equal to 250 mm<sup>3</sup>: Application of the Updated Fleischner Society Guidelines in Clinical Practice

<div>Solid pulmonary nodule smaller than 100 mm<sup>3</sup> with smooth margins located in the right lower lobe in a 36-year-old low-risk male patient. Baseline (left) and last follow-up CT scans (right). The interval between the two CT examinations was 766 days. The software did not show significant growth of the nodule (relative volume variation of 7% with a volume doubling time of 21 years). The unequivocal nodule stability after more than 2 years indicates the benign nature of the lesion. In this case, the new Fleischner Society guidelines would not have recommended a follow-up CT scan.</div>
