|
What is shown here
|
Several coalescent collagenous silicotic nodules.
|
|
What is shown here
|
High-power detail of an asbestos body, revealing the typical beading and knobbed ends (arrow).
|
|
What is shown here
|
Asbestos exposure evidenced by severe, discrete, characteristic fibrocalcific plaques on the pleural surface of the diaphragm.
|
|
What is shown here
|
Characteristic sarcoid noncaseating granulomas in lung with many giant cells.
|
|
What is shown here
|
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis, histologic appearance. Loosely formed interstitial granulomas and chronic inflammation are characteristic
|
|
What is shown here
|
Desquamative interstitial pneumonia: medium-power detail of lung to demonstrate the accumulation of large numbers of mononuclear cells within the alveolar spaces with only mild fibrous thickening of the alveolar walls.
|
|
What is shown here
|
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, histologic appearance. The alveoli are filled with a dense, amorphous, protein-lipid granular precipitate, while the alveolar walls are normal.
|
|
What is shown here
|
Large saddle embolus from the femoral vein lying astride the main left and right pulmonary arteries.
|
|
What is shown here
|
Recent, small, roughly wedge-shaped hemorrhagic pulmonary infarct.
|
|
What do these pictures demonstrate
|
Vascular changes in pulmonary hypertension. A, Gross photograph of atheroma formation, a finding usually limited to large vessels. B, Marked medial hypertrophy. C, Plexogenic lesion characteristic of advanced pulmonary hypertension seen in small arteries
|
|
What does this picture demonstrate
|
Acute intra-alveolar hemorrhage and hemosiderin-laden macrophages, reflecting previous hemorrhage, are common features of the diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage syndromes (Prussian blue stain for iron).
|
|
Compare Bronchopneumonia with Lobar Pneumonia
|
Patchy consolidation of the lung is the dominant characteristic of bronchopneumonia
Lobar pneumonia is an acute bacterial infection resulting in fibrinosuppruative consolidation of a large portion of a lobe or of an entire lobe |
|
What does this picture demonstrate
|
Bronchopneumonia. Gross section of lung showing patches of consolidation (arrows).
|
|
What does this picture demonstrate
|
Lobar pneumonia—gray hepatization, gross photograph. The lower lobe is uniformly consolidated
|
|
What do these pictures demonstrate
|
A, Acute pneumonia. The congested septal capillaries and extensive neutrophil exudation into alveoli corresponds to early red hepatization. Fibrin nets have not yet formed. B, Early organization of intra-alveolar exudate, seen in areas to be streaming through the pores of Kohn (arrow). C, Advanced organizing pneumonia (corresponding to gray hepatization), featuring transformation of exudates to fibromyxoid masses richly infiltrated by macrophages and fibroblasts.
|
|
What does this picture demonstrate
|
Pyemic lung abscess in the center of section with complete destruction of underlying parenchyma within the focus of involvement.
|
|
What does this picture demonstrate
|
Laminated Histoplasma granuloma of the lung
|
|
What does this picture demonstrate
|
Histoplasma capsulatum yeast forms fill phagocytes in a lymph node of a patient with disseminated histoplasmosis
|
|
What do these pictures demonstrate
|
Blastomycosis. A, Rounded budding yeasts, larger than neutrophils, are present. Note the characteristic thick wall and nuclei (not seen in other fungi). B, Silver stain.

|
|
What does this picture demonstrate
|
Lung carcinoma. The gray-white tumor tissue is seen infiltrating the lung substance. Histologically, this large tumor mass was identified as a squamous cell carcinoma.
|
|
What do these pictures demonstrate
|
Cytologic diagnosis of lung cancer is often possible. A, A sputum specimen shows an orange-staining, keratinized squamous carcinoma cell with a prominent hyperchromatic nucleus (arrow). B, A fine-needle aspirate of an enlarged lymph node shows clusters of tumor cells from a small cell carcinoma, with molding and nuclear atypia characteristic of this tumor; note the size of the tumor cells compared with normal polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the left lower corner

|
Histologic appearance of lung carcinoma. A, Well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma showing keratinization. B, Gland-forming adenocarcinoma.
