Brief Answer:
most likely having malignant lung mass in right upper lobe.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HealthcareMagic.
I can understand your concern, reviewed the reports.

I have gone through the reports you have attached.

CT scan of thorax is clearly showing malignant mass like lesion in posterior segment of right upper lobe which is invading 3rd rib which is causing sever right sided back pain.
Lung cancer is serious disease.

Firstly, he needs biopsy to confirm the maligancy and to know the type of cancer.

Usually chemotherapy is needed depending on type of cancer.
So, it's better to consult oncologist and discuss all these.

Hope I have answered your query. In case you've any further queries, I'll be happy to help you further.
Wishing him a good health.
Thanks.
