Abstract:
Ground glass opacities, also known as GGOs, are detected on computed tomography (CT) scans as hazy areas if increased attenuation in the lung, and my represent a variety of pulmonary processes. Natural history of GGOs and their clinical implications are not yet fully understood. Controversies associated with the management of GGOs surround their histological classification, malignant potential, indications, timing, and type of intervention. Herein we discuss the principles and role of surgical therapy for ground glass opacities.
