Figure 1

A 54-year-old male patient, with a nodule in the left lower lobe found by physical examination before 2 weeks. (a) A solid nodule in the lateral basal segment of the left lower lobe, with a diameter of about 1.3 cm (indicated by the arrow). (b) The needle was obliquely inserted from the adjacent intercostal space, avoiding the scapula. (c) After needle extraction, there was a small amount of bleeding and pneumothorax (indicated by the arrow), and the pneumothorax were absorbed after observation.
