[|Human|] I have had w chest xrays in the past 6 months. Both have come back with something suspicious in my RUL. I just left ER for stomach issues and was told they think it s a nodular infiltrate measuring 10mm. What could this be? I am a smoker and have asthma. I was told at the ER that my gallbladder is full of stones. Do I need to have it removed? ?
[|AI|]  Hello10 mm nodule in chest X-ray be due to many causes like granuloma, hamartoma, mass etc. You may need contrast CT scan of thorax for proper evaluation. You may also need to follow up for lesion as it is important to observe its doubling time etc. Ultrasound findings suggest multiple gall bladder calculi. You should plan for definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus. Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is Cholecystectomy(surgical removal of gall bladder). Gall bladder calculus are prone to obstruction and infection. You should consult surgeon for its management. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
