More and more solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN) are discovered with the development of imaging technology. Early and appropriate evaluation of SPN is of great importance for following treatment and patients' prognosis, as early differentiation between benign and malignant is difficult, while its possibility of being malignant does exist. In this review, we make a comprehensive evaluation about diagnostic value of some risk factors of solitary pulmonary nodules, including age, nodule diameter, doubling time, nodule location, air bronchogram, ground-glass opacitie, vacuole, lobulation, spiculation, vascular convergence, pleural indentation, nodule calcification, past medical history, smoking history, past symptoms and nodule density. Future perspective of diagnostic strategies is also discussed.
