Clinicians suspect superglue may be linked to an incidental lung nodule
A man in his 40s was being evaluated for kidney stones when he went to emergency care.

The nodule was incidental because the scan was being done for another concern.
Clinicians' best guess is that the nodule may be linked to superglue.
The details available do not confirm that superglue caused it or explain how it might have been involved.
