3. The right upper lobe nodule appears slightly enlarged and now shows cavitation
Repeat thoracic CT, at about 6 months following initial presentation, shows slight interval enlargement of the subpleural right upper lobe nodule (increased from 18 mm to 23 mm maximum dimension) with development of central cavitation. While there is some mild ground-glass opacity on the margins of the enlarging nodule, the ground-glass opacity is not extensive enough to suggest an actively hemorrhagic lesion. No significant new nodules are present.
