From: Evaluation of the solitary pulmonary nodule: size matters, but do not ignore the power of morphology
Axial CT-images, lung window setting, in a 67-year-old man with a previous history of melanoma show a small solid subpleural nodule in the lingula (a). The lesion has a solid, round, relatively smooth morphology. Since the lesion had doubled in volume over 1Â year time (b), robot-assisted wedge-excision was performed. Histopathologic examination showed findings consistent with an intrapulmonary lymph node and showed no arguments for malignancy or melanoma metastasis
