Hello mhae,
Scar tissue in the lungs can mean a number of things. This may have come from any colds or flus that you've had. Scars can come from smoking and tuberculosis is another possibility. The problem with X-rays is that they don't reveal much about soft tissue. Some people are told they have tumors in their lungs when in fact they don't. You might consider having a different kind of scan done that can tell you more about what is really there. It's really the only way to go. Any shadow on an X-ray could cause for alarm but really you don't know what it is. I had a friend who had what appeared to be a tumor on the surface of the lung and the doctor thought it was cancer. They went in and removed it and found that it was harmless.
