Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should not worry about it. If you are asymptomatic than no treatment is required.
Scar tissue is nothing but fibrosis and it is inactive. And it will remain as it is throughout the life.
So no treatment is required if you are asymptomatic.
And causes for your lesion are
1. Old TB lesion
2. Asbestosis
3. Sillicosis
4. Sarcoidosis etc.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
