Calcified precarinal lymph node

Does the existence of a calcified precarinal lymph node  and calcified right hilar lymphnode shown in a CT scan

You really need to give some background and context when you ask such a question.
What is the age and gender of the person?
What was the reason for the CT Scan?

Give that kind of information and you might just get a useful answer.
