Abstract: The prevalence of ground-glass opacities (GGO) is as high as 9% in patients undergoing computed tomography scan.1-3 The reported incidence of cancer in such lesions can be more than 50%.4 Most clinicians watch these GGO with serial imaging and treat when either definitive growth has been identified or the lesion develops a solid component (ie, nodule). This strategy opens the opportunity for some nodules that have malignancy to continue to grow and possibly metastasize.
