Cat.SignificadoCondutaRiscoFonte
solid-single-<6
Solid single nodule, under 6 mm
Single solid nodule under 6 mm (under ~100 mm3); recommendation differs by patient risk.
Low risk: no routine follow-up. High risk: optional CT at 12 months. The guideline notes that nodules under 6 mm generally need no routine follow-up, but selected high-risk patients with suspicious morphology and/or upper-lobe location may warrant a 12-month follow-up.
Fleischner 2017 Table 1, Section A (Solid Nodules), Single, <6 mm row
solid-single-6to8
Solid single nodule, 6 to 8 mm
Single solid nodule 6-8 mm (~100-250 mm3); same management for low and high risk.
CT at 6-12 months, then consider CT at 18-24 months (applies to both low- and high-risk single nodules).
Fleischner 2017 Table 1, Section A (Solid Nodules), Single, 6-8 mm row
solid-single->8
Solid single nodule, over 8 mm
Single solid nodule larger than 8 mm (over ~250 mm3); same management for low and high risk.
Consider CT at 3 months, PET/CT, or tissue sampling (applies to both low- and high-risk single nodules).
Fleischner 2017 Table 1, Section A (Solid Nodules), Single, >8 mm row
solid-multiple-<6
Solid multiple nodules, under 6 mm
Multiple solid nodules with the largest under 6 mm; recommendation differs by patient risk. Use the most suspicious nodule to guide management.
Low risk: no routine follow-up. High risk: optional CT at 12 months.
Fleischner 2017 Table 1, Section A (Solid Nodules), Multiple, <6 mm row
solid-multiple->=6
Solid multiple nodules, 6 mm or larger
Multiple solid nodules with at least one in the 6-8 mm or >8 mm band. Use the most suspicious nodule to guide management; intervals may vary with size and risk.
CT at 3-6 months, then consider CT at 18-24 months (same recommendation given for the 6-8 mm and >8 mm multiple-nodule columns, for both low and high risk).
Fleischner 2017 Table 1, Section A (Solid Nodules), Multiple, 6-8 mm and >8 mm columns
ggn-single-<6
Ground glass single nodule, under 6 mm
Single pure ground-glass nodule under 6 mm.
No routine follow-up.
Fleischner 2017 Table 1, Section B (Subsolid Nodules), Single, Ground glass, <6 mm column
ggn-single->=6
Ground glass single nodule, 6 mm or larger
Single pure ground-glass nodule 6 mm or larger.
CT at 6-12 months to confirm persistence, then CT every 2 years out to 5 years. If a solid component or growth develops, consider resection.
Fleischner 2017 Table 1, Section B (Subsolid Nodules), Single, Ground glass, >=6 mm column
partsolid-single->=6
Part solid single nodule, 6 mm or larger
Single part-solid nodule 6 mm or larger. The guideline notes part-solid nodules are generally not defined as such below 6 mm, and persistent part-solid nodules with a solid component of 6 mm or more should be regarded as highly suspicious.
CT at 3-6 months to confirm persistence. If unchanged and the solid component stays under 6 mm, annual CT for 5 years.
Fleischner 2017 Table 1, Section B (Subsolid Nodules), Single, Part solid, >=6 mm column
subsolid-multiple
Multiple subsolid nodules
Multiple subsolid nodules (ground-glass and/or part-solid). Multiple sub-6 mm pure ground-glass nodules are usually benign.
Under 6 mm: CT at 3-6 months; if stable, consider CT at 2 and 4 years. 6 mm or larger: CT at 3-6 months, with subsequent management based on the most suspicious nodule(s).
