Cases of lung cancer with pure ground-glass nodules (GGNs) have been detected with increasing frequency since the advent of computed tomography (CT), and growth is sometimes noted during follow-up. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential predictive factors for pure GGN growth. ⋯ The mean CT attenuation value could be useful in predicting the growth of GGNs.
