title: The radiologic appearance of solitary pulmonary nodules and their cytologic-histologic correlation.
abstract: In this article, we review the various causes of solitary pulmonary nodules. Based on the underlying histology, we attempt to account for the radiologic pattern associated with each. This includes features related to density, edge characteristics, and texture. Similarly, the radiologic appearance of the nodule can be helpful to the cytologist when interpreting cytological samples obtained through image guidance.
