2. Lung nodule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_nodule

   A lung nodule or pulmonary nodule is a relatively small focal density in the lung. A solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) or coin lesion, [1] is a mass in the lung smaller than three centimeters in diameter. A pulmonary micronodule has a diameter of less than three millimetres. [2] There may also be multiple nodules.

3. Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_idiopathic...

   The most frequent findings on a computed tomography (CT) of the chest are multiple primary nodules and/or masses, on a background of mosaic attenuation and airway wall thickening. [2] [9] The nodules have an indolent pattern of growth and are found throughout the lungs. The nodules are typically rounded and well-defined.

4. Caplan's syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caplan's_syndrome

   Caplan syndrome presents with cough and shortness of breath in conjunction with features of rheumatoid arthritis, such as painful joints and morning stiffness. Examination should reveal tender, swollen metacarpophalangeal joints and rheumatoid nodules; auscultation of the chest may reveal diffuse crackles that do not disappear on coughing or taking a deep breath.

5. Rheumatoid lung disease - Wikipedia

6. Silicosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicosis

   For uncomplicated silicosis, chest x-ray will confirm the presence of small (< 10 mm) nodules in the lungs, especially in the upper lung zones. Using the ILO classification system, these are of profusion 1/0 or greater and shape/size "p", "q", or "r". Lung zone involvement and profusion increases with disease progression.

7. Diffuse panbronchiolitis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_panbronchiolitis

   The diagnostic criteria include severe inflammation in all layers of the respiratory bronchioles and lung tissue lesions that appear as nodules within the terminal and respiratory bronchioles in both lungs. [4] The nodules in DPB appear as opaque lumps when viewed on X-rays of the lung, and can cause airway obstruction, which is evaluated by a ...
