Scoring system of the surface morphology for pure ground glass nodules ≥ 10 mm in diameter.
Score | Surface morphology | Peaks | Predicted behavior | First follow-up |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Hilly | 0 | Benign | CT at 24 months |
2 | Hilly predominance | 1 | Probably benign | CT at 18 months |
3 | No predominance | 2 | Indeterminate | CT at 12 months |
4 | Mountainous predominance | 3 | Probably aggressive | CT at 9 months |
5 | Mountainous | 4 or more | Aggressive | CT at 6 months |
