| ==Overview==
| |
| Causes of pulmonary nodule may be classified into 5 categories: infectious, neoplastic, inflammatory, immunological, vascular, and miscellaneous. Common causes of solitary pulmonary nodule, include: [[tuberculosis]], [[Lung cancer|primary lung cancer]], [[granulomas]], and [[rheumatic disease]].<ref name="pmid2019220">{{cite journal |vauthors=Lillington GA |title=Management of solitary pulmonary nodules |journal=Dis Mon |volume=37 |issue=5 |pages=271–318 |year=1991 |pmid=2019220 |doi= |url=}}</ref> | |
