Tiny shadows on the lung’s expanse,
Round or oval shapes that dance,
Often found when least expected,
On X-rays or scans, detected.
Less than three centimeters wide,
They sit in silence, often hide.
Benign or malignant, the question stands,
A mystery within the body's lands.
Causes range from infection’s touch,
To tumors benign, not feared as much.
Yet some shadows cast a darker spell,
Malignancy's tale, they might tell.
Symptoms rarely mark their claim,
No cough or wheeze to name.
Yet larger ones might make their mark,
With breathless sighs and coughing bark.
Diagnosis through careful eyes,
Imaging and biopsy tries.
Nature of the nodule learned,
Through these tests, knowledge earned.
Treatment paths then come to light,
Monitoring or surgical might.
Benign shadows watched with care,
Malignant ones need thorough fare.
Early detection’s crucial role,
In managing these spots, its goal.
Distinguishing benign from foe,
To ensure health’s steady flow.
