What is a nodular lesion?

A nodular lesion is a solid, raised abnormality or mass that can develop in various tissues of the body, often characterized by a distinct border. These lesions can vary in size and can be benign or malignant, depending on their nature and underlying cause. Common examples include dermatological nodules, such as cysts or lipomas, and nodules found in organs like the thyroid or lungs. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies or biopsy to determine the lesion's characteristics and potential implications.
