Oh, dude, a fatty hilum is like this little blob of fat in the middle of an organ where blood vessels and stuff go in and out. It's like the organ's belly button, but instead of lint, it's got fat. So yeah, it's just a fancy term for a chunk of fat hanging out in an organ.
This would be the Hilum. It is in charge of regulating the lymph nodes and holding on to the fatty hila.

Hm. There is no such thing as the "hilum of the upper lung". The hilum (also called the hilus) is the part of the lung where the bronchi, pulmonary veins, and pulmonary arteries enter the lung. Each lung has its own hilum. Surrounding the hilum are lymph nodes that help drain fluid that has entered the lung. Since the hilum consists of so many different structures with distinct purposes, there's no easy way to discuss how the hilum "works". It's more of an anatomical entity rather than a functional one. Do you have a specific question about the function of one of the structures in the hilum?
