Hi,
The x-ray report shows that there is some fibrosis in the upper part of your lung. To be honest, it cannot be said for sure as what could be the cause without history and ct scans, but it is rarely a serious condition. It may be caused by an infection like TB, drugs, autoimmune disease, or pneumonia in the past. So to know more about it we need detailed History and examination of your lung and Scans of the chest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman,
