A 53-year-old woman who had a malignant tumor removed 2 years ago presents with a solitary lung nodule
1.5 cm in diameter. The following is/are true:
If the primary tumor originated in the breast, the lesion is most likely to represent a new primary lung cancer.
If the primary tumor was melanoma, the lesion is most likely to be metastatic
If the remainder of the lung fields are clear, a CT scan is unnecessary
If the primary tumor was in the GI tract, there is very little chance that the lesion is a new primary lung cancer
Fine needle aspiration should always be performed prior to resection of the lung lesion
