What Does The X-ray Finding Mean?
This was the x-ray findings: 1. There are fibrohazy infiltrates in both lung fields, more in the right with superimposed cystic lucencies in the right lung. 2. Heart and the rest of the mediastinal structures are shifted to the right. 3. Hermidiaphragms, costomeric sulci and the visualized bones are intact. what does this findings mean? thankyou

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion your x ray findings are suggestive of right sided fibrotic lung.
You must have TB infection in right lung in past. And your present x ray findings are sequelae of healed TB lesion.
When lung fibrosis occurs, the healed tissue shrunk the lungs and pull the structures. So mediastinum and trachea are shifted towards right side.
So no need to worry about this x ray as it is old fibrotic right sided lung is seen.
