    AbstractA 54-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple lung nodules during a health checkup. The nodules were up to 5 mm in diameter and randomly distributed in both lungs, appearing ring-shaped. No clinical symptoms were present. However, the nodes proliferated, and multiple lung metastases could not be ruled out, so a biopsy was performed to establish a diagnosis. She was diagnosed with minute pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules (MPMNs), and her condition had not deteriorated at the latest follow-up. Although rare, MPMNs can proliferate for a short time, but a biopsy to exclude malignant causes is essential.
