Is Mass In Heart Border Occur Due To Asbestos?
I am 41 years old non smoker 6 1 325lbs I have a mass 3.2 x 5.2 cm positioned along the right heart border and protrudes into the right middle lobe. the mass does not enhance and has a density measurement of 42 hounsfield units and is consistant with soft tissue, although possibly represents complex fluid. it is possible that this mass is a mediastinal mass rather than a lung mass. a complex pericardial cyst is unlikely. There is a mildly prominant precarinal lymph node 1.3 x 2.5cm there is a 4-5 mm non-calcified nodule in the right lower lobe... Is this possible asbestos related?

yes definitely it can be related to asbestosis.
Kindly get a mri done and follow up with reports so that we can rule out exact cause
