The chest X ray shows an area in the left lower portion of chest where a certain pattern is doubtful. This means it can either be the shadow of nipple or a false shadow which needs repeat evaluation. At this point it does not confirm to a disease but better to take another X ray to be certain. It can be a problem in the ribs also and that is the reason an oblique projection has been asked.
Rest of the structures like heart, diaphragms and large airways appear normal.
