A solitary pulmonary nodule is radiologically defined as an intraparenchymal lung lesion that is smaller than 3 cm in diameter. The goal of the evaluation of solitary pulmonary nodules is to differentiate benign from malignant lesions noninvasively and as accurately as possible. In patients with a high probability of malignancy, surgery is the preferred strategy. In this paper, the approach to solitary pulmonary nodules is reviewed.
