#My Outpatient Story #Is Pure Ground Glass Nodule Carcinoma in Situ? Today to share with you such a capability, this is a lung ground glass nodule patient, the patient is found during the physical examination of two lung ground glass nodules to diagnose, from the CT to see when the two lung pure ground glass nodules. So is this pure ground glass nodule carcinoma in situ?
From the perspective of CT morphology, the boundary of this ground glass nodule is not clear, and there may be inflammation, but it cannot give a positive diagnosis.
The most critical point is that looking back at ct 1 year ago in this patient, there are no two ground glass nodules in this location. Then this is clear:
If the ground glass nodule is carcinoma in situ, it grows slowly and will not grow out within 1 year, and these two pure grinding must be inflamed and possibly large.
Dialectical treatment was given to Chinese medicine, and after 3 months of re-examination, the nodule disappeared.
According to this new history of ground glass nodules within 1 year, carcinoma in situ can be basically excluded. Avoiding surgery can also avoid anxiety during patient follow-up.
What kind of ground glass nodules may be in the stage of carcinoma in situ?
Under normal circumstances, the doctor will be less than 10mm pure ground glass nodules, that is to say, the density of the nodules is relatively low, there is no solid component, the average CT value is below minus 600, such ground glass nodules, it is likely to be in the stage of carcinoma in situ, of course, we do not hear the word cancer on fear, although also called cancer, but it is not cancer, according to the newly published WHO lung tumor tissue classification 2021 edition pointed out that lung carcinoma in situ has been divided into the category of lung cancer, that is, lung carcinoma in situ, It is not lung cancer, it is a lesion of the glandular prodromal. So everyone does not have to be afraid, of course, so that is not to say that everyone does not care about it, although it is not a malignant tumor, but its risk is still relatively high, so it is still necessary to actively carry out effective treatment.
