Chest x-ray results say curvilinear density in the r pericardial region. could represent fat pad or small r middle lobe infiltrate. lung cancer?

It is unlikely: that it is cancer, but it still may require further evaluation with a CT scan to be sure. If you had any previous chest xrays elsewhere, have them sent to the radiologist to compare with the new one. That could solve the issue without any additional tests. Talk to your doctor about the results.
