AB  - The  radiographic  finding  of  a  pulmonary  nodule,  formerly  known  as  a  coin  lesion,  has  long  challenged  the  clinician.  At  the  heart  of  the  dilemma,  the  question  remains  unchanged:  “Is  it  malignant  or  benign?”  When  faced  with  a  pulmonary  nodule,  the  clinician  and  the  patient  usually  have  one  of  three  choices:  (1)  observe  it  with  serial  chest  computed  tomography  (CT),  (2)  perform  additional  diagnostic  tests,  or  (3)  remove  it  surgically.
