Does anyone know what a part glass nodule is? My mom just had one pop up on her most recent scan. I'll attach the findings below. Her oncologist doesn't seem concerned, but of course I am. She was sick and getting over an infection prior to her scan, but still. Anyone have any insight on this? Thanks.
Lungs: Central airways patent. New 5 mm part ground-glass nodule right upper lobe (image 53, series 3) suspected to potentially represent mucous plugging. Short interval follow-up is recommended. Other small nodules are stable.
