Definitive diagnoses were obtained using video-assisted lung resection in all seven patients. None experienced major postoperative complications. The final pathologic diagnoses were primary lung cancer in three patients, pulmonary metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma in one patient, invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in one patient, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in one patient, and hemorrhagic infarction in one patient. The three patients with lung cancer were subsequently treated with standard curative resection.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Solitary pulmonary nodules present in several serious but potentially curable diseases, such as early-stage lung cancer.
