A
nodule is a small aggregation of
cells. Nodules may form on
tendons and
muscles in response to injury. The
vocal cords may also develop nodules. Nodules are normally
benign[?] and often painless although they can affect the functioning of the
organ.
The term is also used in geology to refer to a small knobbly rock or mineral cluster.
