Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your report suggests suspicious nodular and hazed densities seen in the right upper lung field.It may be due to active infection.
It is difficult to determine low grade infection present inside the lesion.
Apico-lordotic view should be taken to properly visualize apical areas because apical areas are covered by many bony structures like clavicle,ribs.
It is too early to comment upon possibility of cancer.You need clinical correlation and further investigations.
It is important to rule out infective etiology.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Hope i have answered your query.
