Hello,

This fibrohazed density could mean nothing, however, needs to be evaluated.

If I were your treating doctor, I would like to look for the following:-

1. smoking habits
2. Any previous chest X-ray for comparison
3. Any symptoms - cough/ breathlessness/ weakness/ weight loss
4. Any allergy/fever

If the answer is no to all, then I don't think there is any reason to worry, if you still anxious, maybe you can repeat the X-ray after 6 months to compare, no point in doing earlier than 6 months.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Jatin Bhatia, Radiation Oncologist
