Ring shadow on chest X ray what could this be??

My mother had a fall in which her chest took the full force. She went for an x ray and the results said "Ring shadow adjacent to left hilum". Could this be as a result of trauma to the lung from the fall? She must have another x ray in 3 months. Chest specialist said he couldn't explain it.

It is possible that this is related to the fall and is due to swelling that was a result of the fall. A repeat film in 3 months will help explain this finding.
