What Does The Following CT Scan Result Indicate?

My GP called today with the results of my CT scan. 1.2 CM nodule in left lung, non calcified, irregular edge. I am 69 former light smoker quote 17 years, Parotid mass, acetic cell carcinoma, removed complete 2002. GP has ordered a PET scan. What would be the procedure after the PET scan if shown as hot? What would be the procedure if a biopsy shows cancer? Could it be removed? Thank you.

Hi,

1.2 CM nodule in left lung, non calcified, irregular edge suggests malignant lesion (metastasis ) from parotid mass, acinic cell carcinoma (likely source). If biopsy shows cancer (acinic cell carcinoma) & if solitary lesion, lobectomy may be undertaken but further work-up like PET scan reveals multiple lesions chemotherapy is the answer.

This is only speculative and no firm conclusion can be offered.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
