الوصف: Graphical abstract
Highlights • pGGNs typically show an indolent course with very slow growth rates. • pGGNs exhibit different patterns of growth regardless of their initial CT features. • Predicting the behavior of pGGNs on initial CT remains a diagnostic challenge. • Diameter greater than 10 mm increases the risk of aggressive behavior in pGGNs. • The analysis of surface morphology may help predict the behavior of pGGNs ≥ 10 mm.
Persistent pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs) typically show an indolent course with very slow growth rates. These slow-growing lesions exhibit different growth patterns regardless of their initial computed tomography (CT) features. Therefore, predicting the aggressive behavior of pGGNs on initial CT remains a diagnostic challenge. The literature reports that computerized analysis and various quantitative features have been tested to improve the risk stratification for pGGNs. The present article describes the long-term follow-up of two pGGNs with different behavior and introduces, for the first time, a new computerized method of analysis that could be helpful for predicting the future behavior of pGGNs.
