For comparison, lung adenocarcinomas matched to SPCH by nodule consistency and size within the same period were included.

SPCH can manifest as nonsolid (12\/44, 27.3%), part-solid (8\/44, 18.2%) and solid nodules (24\/44, 54.5%). SPCH shared multiple features with lung adenocarcinoma in nonsolid and part-solid nodules. However, in solid nodules, SPCH were more likely to occur in lower lobes (21\/24, [87.5%] vs. 71\/192 [37%]), more often presented with air bronchogram (18\/24 [75.0%] vs. 26\/192 [13.5%]), and lacked spiculation (2\/24 [8.3%] vs. 169\/192, [88.0%]) and pleural retraction (5\/24, [20.8%] vs. 131\/192, [68.2%]) (all\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
