A 68-year-old man was transferred to our hospital because of abnormal lung nodule. He was a social drinker and a current smoker with a history of 70 pack-years. He had no symp-toms and was a good nutritional status. Based on the pulmonary function tests, he was diag-nosed with chronic obstructive lung disease stage II by Global Initiative on Obstructive Lung Disease staging system.
