Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern
1. fibroid densities signify old healed lesion [probably from infection with tuberculosis] and fibro nodular/hazy infiltrates means minimal PTB infection, but do consult a chest specialist [Pulmonologist] since there are other numerous lung causes which can cause the same and moreover he needs to take a thorough examination to determine whether it is old scarring or something new.
2. heart and other chest structures are unremarkable means that all structures which are seen on imaging are normal. [i.e. no pathology or unexpected abnormalities]
