Brief Answer:
It will be more helpful if you can attach the printed MRI report.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
I think you have misunderstood the report.
It will be of great help if you can send me picture of MRI report.
The word you mentioned 'corticated' is used for surgical removal of pleural layers.
So please let me know if you had decortication surgery in the past.
The word chronic means long standing.
So chronic suggests old, Long standing disease.
So please attach MRI report to clear this confusion.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
