Brief Answer:
Answer to both your questions is NO.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the reports you have attached.
No need to worry for that fat.
It is reducing and it will gradually disappear.
And this fat can not cause low oxygen supply or diastolic dysfunction.
So answer to both your questions is NO.

Hello Doctor,
I came across this on YouTube.

Please review.
So brochcoscopy is not required to remove the fat lesion or calcification.
Any particular reason why this fat lesion occured in first place.
In which cases does a patient qualifies for a brochcoscopy.
Will she need to avoid certain foods or have particular diet inorder to stop the fat lesion from growing further.
Bit worried...here , as its 32mm and stuck , will there be any long term consequences if we mantain status quo. Not sure if will reduce or grow in size and become cancerous in future.

Brief Answer:
Bronchoscopy will not be useful at all.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Bronchoscopy is endoscopic examination of lungs. So basically bronchoscopy is indicated in any pathology involving airways and lung tissue. This fat tissue is on diaphragm, outside lungs. So bronchoscopy is not at all useful, not at all indicated.
No particular reason for fat accumulation.
Try to avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Do regular exercise like walking especially after dinner. Avoid heavy meals.
No need to worry for cancer also.
