Some asymptomatic small ground-glass lesions ≥ 5 mm found by routine CT examination can be considered as atypical adenoid hyperplasia (AAH) or adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS). If the diameter is ≥ 10mm, more than 80% is malignant.

If it is diagnosed as a small nodule over 5mm, it can also be treated by single-hole thoracoscopic minimally invasive surgery. It is to make a 3-4cm small hole in the chest, put the thoracoscope into the chest, and minimally invasive resection of the lobe or lung segment where the nodule is located under the thoracoscope. You can leave the hospital in three or four days after the operation.
