Rheumatoid nodules are a rare manifestation of lung disease associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Their emergence and evolution in the course of the disease is variable. The diagnosis of pulmonary rheumatoid nodules may be suggested if they have a typical appearance in an appropriate clinical context, but an accurate diagnosis cannot be made based only on imaging tests. It is recommended to follow nodules and may be necessary to histologically differentiate them from tumors.
类风湿结节是与类风湿关节炎（RA）相关的肺部疾病的一种罕见表现。它们在疾病过程中的出现和演变是可变的。如果肺类风湿结节在适当的临床背景下具有典型表现，可能提示其诊断，但仅基于影像学检查无法做出准确诊断。建议对结节进行随访，可能有必要通过组织学将它们与肿瘤区分开来。
