Common causes of solitary pulmonary nodule include [[tuberculosis]], [[Lung cancer|primary lung cancer]], [[granulomas]], and [[rheumatic disease]]. Solitary pulmonary nodules can be life-threatening if they are [[malignant]] [[neoplasms]], [[cardiopulmonary]] [[Disease|diseases]] and [[infection]], requiring prompt [[diagnosis]] and differentiation from [[benign]] [[Etiology|etiologies]].

Overview

Common causes of solitary pulmonary nodule include tuberculosis, primary lung cancer, granulomas, and rheumatic disease. Solitary pulmonary nodules can be life-threatening if they are malignant neoplasms, cardiopulmonary diseases and infection, requiring prompt diagnosis and differentiation from benign etiologies.
