Abstract:
hTe incidence of pulmonary ground glass opacity (GGO) has been increasing in recent years, with a great number of patients having multiple GGOs. Unfortunately, the management of multiple GGOs is still controversial. Pul-monary GGO is a radiological term, consisting of different pathological types. Some of the GGOs are early-staged lung cancer. GGO is an indolent nodule, only a small proportion of GGOs change during observation, which does not inlfuence the effcacy of surgery. . hTe timing of surgery for multiple GGOs mainly depends on the predominant nodule and surgery is recommended if the solid component of the predominant nodule>5 mm. Either lobectomy or sub-lobectomy is feasible. GGOs other than the predominant nodule can be letf unresected. Multiple GGOs with high risk factors need mediastinal lymph node dissection or sampling.
