Carcinoid tumor
The larger the tumor the greater the clinical concern for malignancy
True

Benign
Particularly granulomatous
A halo of ground glass opacity encircling a solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) in an immunocompromised host
Aspergillosis
A nodule or mass adjacent to an area of pleural thickening with a comet tail of bronchi ang vessel
