What Does "Isolated Significant Centrally Calcified Subcarinal Lymph Node" Suggest?

Hi:

*My CECT CHEST report highlight "small areas of subpleural fibrosis in lingular segment of left upper lobe and posterior basal segments of both lower lobes with small subpleural granulomas in interior segment of right upper lobe and superior segment of right lower lobe.
*isolated significant centrally calcified subcarinal lymph node".

According to the above CECT findings, Could you please let me know the problem/disease I am suffering from and how serious is the same?

Thanks for your kind and prompt response.

Regards,

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The CT scan finding alone have less value and all the clinical history! Examination and other investigations considered together can alone decide the comprehensive diagnosis, its seriousness
Your ct scan findings of calcification Is suggestive of good body response and good immunity against some granulomatous disease like tuberculosis
Consult your Doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
