Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Fibronodular density in left upper lobe has many differentials.
1. Pulmonary tuberculosis also known as Kochs infection
2. Malignant lesion
3. other infections
upper lobe involvement is specific with tuberculosis. Spot view with nipple marker is a compressed view to distinguish between lung lesions and breast lesions.
Hope it helps best
