Nodule: A nodule is morphologically similar to a papule in that it is also a palpable spherical lesion less than 10 mm in diameter. However, it is differentiated by being centered deeper in the dermis or subcutis. Tumor: Similar to a nodule, but it is larger than 10 mm in diameter. [citation needed]
Smaller (less than 0.5 cm) raised soft tissue bumps may be termed papules. [3] The evaluation of a skin nodule includes a description of its appearance, its location, how it feels to touch and any associated symptoms which may give clues to an underlying medical condition. [4] Nodules in skin include dermatofibroma [5] and pyogenic granuloma. [6]
Papule and plaque. A papule is a small, well-defined bump in the skin. [2] It is smaller than a nodule; it can be as tiny as a pinhead and is typically less than 1 cm in width, according to some sources, [2] [3] and 0.5 cm according to others. [4]
Cannonball metastases are classically seen in renal cell carcinoma, [5] also seen in choriocarcinoma, endometrial cancer, [6] prostate cancer and some gastrointestinal malignancies. The presence of cannonball metastases is a hallmark of advanced systemic malignancy. Identification of these lesions often triggers search for primary tumor.
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.

Axial CT-image in lung window setting shows a 2.6 cm lesion with spiculated morphology, pleural tags and centrally small lucent foci, corresponding to the so-called “bubble-like-lucencies”. In the periphery of the lesion there are some small foci of ground glass appearance.
