Lungs Health

Asked for Male, 30 Years

I just did my Chest x-ray as a routine checkup. I've no problem at all. No cough, no cold. It says isolated hilar/mediastinal mass/lymphadenopathy (non-calcified) I want to know 1. Is this contagious? Do I need to worry about my parents and people around me? Again, I don't have any problem of cough and cold. 2. Is this a symptom of TB. Please help me understand this
