Study Notes
Pulmonary Congestion
- Passive accumulation of blood in pulmonary vessels and capillaries
- Often results from heart failure (left side)
- Grossly appears as a diffuse red discoloration of all pulmonary lobes except cranial margins
- Lung edema is present
- Histology reveals "Heart failure cells" within alveoli. These are alveolar macrophages filled with hemosiderin
- Alveolar macrophages engulf hemosiderin which is released from the lysis of red blood cells.
- Congested capillaries leak fluid and erythrocytes into the alveolar space, leading to edema and intra-alveolar hemorrhages.
Ruptured Pulmonary Aneurysm
- Large abscess erodes major pulmonary vessel
Abnormalitites of Inflation
- Collapsed (Atelectasis)
- Overinflated (Emphysema)
Pulmonary Atelectasis
- Loss of air content in previously inflated alveoli
- Can be acquired
- Causes include:
- Complete airway obstruction
- Pulmonary compression
- Grossly appears meaty (red and firm) and depressed in relation to adjacent normal lung tissue.
Pulmonary Emphysema
- Over-inflation of alveoli with destruction of walls
- Causes include:
- Incomplete obstruction of bronchi or bronchioles from foreign bodies or exudate, interfering with expiration
- Characterized by enlargement and rupture of alveolar walls.
