Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Density in the left apex may be due to .
1 Cancer ,the black shadow in the apex may be due to cancer . Diagnosis can be confirmed by MRI and not by an X ray.
2 The 2nd possibility may be due to surgery ( left out scar ) .Mammography will find out the exact reason.If there is not any abnormality in breast tissues then this density may be in apex.
In my opinion get in MRI and consult a physician and get his opinion as physical as well clinical examination is important.
Good luck.
