%X Solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is defined as a single well circumscribed radiographic opacity, up to 30 mm in diameter, surrounded by unaltered aerated lung with no associated atelectasis, hilar enlargement or pleural effusion (1,2). Lesions larger than 30 mm in diameter are called lung masses and are usually considered malignant (3)
