Multiple Focal Pure Ground-Glass Opacities on High-Resolution CT Images: Clinical Significance in Patients With Lung Cancer

Abstract

The size of most focal pure GGOs associated with lung cancer did not change during the follow-up period. Most of the small number of lesions histologically diagnosed were atypical adenomatous hyperplasia or bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. These data justify the therapeutic strategy of resecting the primary tumor without therapeutic intervention in the remaining focal pure GGOs.
