Wandering pulmonary nodule is defined as a nodule with morphologically identical features found in different regions of the lung on different imaging studies. In this article, we report a 61-year-old patient who was examined for cough and found to have an 8 mm calcific nodule in the lower lobe of the left lung on computed tomography (CT) scan (Fig. 1A, B). On follow-up CT scan two years later, a nodule with the same morphology and size was detected in the same lobe but at a different location (Fig. 1C, D).
