Description

Esra Akçiçek and six co-authors catalog lung nodule causes that are not cancer spread in a review from two thousand twenty-four. Many nodules together usually raise fear of metastasis, above all in patients with a known cancer. Yet infections, inflammation, and rare benign diseases can look the same.

The article walks through the impostors, from common diseases in rare form to rare tumors that mimic spread. Size, density, borders, and inner structure on scans all carry clues. Growth on follow-up scans and findings elsewhere in the body add more. Matched against symptoms and lab results, these features guide the call. The authors stress that careful reading can spare patients wrong cancer labels and late treatment.
