Resumen
El nódulo pulmonar solitario se documenta por estudios radiológicos como una opacidad de menos de 30mm, que puede ser secundaria a múltiples patologías tanto benignas como malignas. Debido a su clara asociación con factores de riesgo como el tabaco y el riesgo de malignidad, es fundamental dar un diagnóstico certero y seguimiento adecuado al paciente. Las guías internacionales se emplean para reducir el número de exploraciones innecesarias y dar más autonomía en el manejo de esta patología.
