Brief Answer:
Solitary pulmonary nodule
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
You have solitary pulmonary nodule. It is very common and is mostly benign (harmless). If you have a previous chest x-ray that shows the same nodule of same shape and size, it should clear the doubts about the nodule being cancerous. If you don't have a previous x-ray then you can repeat the chest x-ray in 3 months and compare to remove the doubt.
Once the doubt of cancer is removed, an isolated pulmonary nodule should not be of any concern by the embassy.
Hope it helps.
