Dear Sir,

Thanks for your reply.

Actually patient was my uncle. He is 57 year old and last few days he felt pain in Chest, mainly when he eat something and now he is in fever and laying on bed.

Therefore we carried him to a Local Dr. and he forward him for X-Ray. The X-Ray report is showing that non homogeneous soft opacities seen in the right para cardiac region. Therefore I want to know more from online.

N.B. : X-Ray report is already attached.
