Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

According to reports there is pleural based calcification of about 15 x 15 x 6 mm in the apico -posterior segment of the upper lobe with fibrotic infiltrates in both apices.It is most likely due to past history of tuberculosis.It doesn't require any treatment.
Rest of the findings like heart,mediastinum,visualized portion of the liver,spleen, and adrenals are unremarkable.
Hope i have answered your query.

Take Care
