General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It can be an old and healed lesion like old tuberculosis. Consult a pulmonologist and get evaluated. A CT scan of the thorax may be done to get a better clinical picture.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family physician
