Summary

This chapter from Robbins Essential Pathology covers the clinicopathologic features of chronic inflammation, discussing its role in various diseases like pulmonary fibrosis, atherosclerosis, liver cirrhosis, and autoimmune diseases. It details morphological aspects, systemic manifestations, and tissue repair processes. The chapter also delves into angiogenesis and factors affecting tissue repair.

CHAPTER 2 Inflammation and Repair 27 * A B Fig. 2.9 Chronic inflammation. (A) Chronic inflammation in the lung, showing all three characteristic histo- logic features: (1) collection of chronic inflammatory cells (*), (2) destruction of parenchyma (normal alveoli are replaced by spaces lined by cuboidal epithelium, arrowheads), and (3) replacement by connective tissue (fibrosis, arrows). (B) Typical tuberculous granuloma showing an area of central necrosis surrounded by mul- tiple Langhans-type giant cells, epithelioid cells, and lymphocytes. ubercuoss.

Following mild injury, which damages the epithelium but not the underlying tissue, resolution occurs by regeneration, but after more severe injury with damage to the connective tissue, repair is by scar formation. Steps in repair by scar formation are shown, specifically during wound healing in the skin. (A) Inflammation and clot formation. (B) Formation of granulation tissue by vessel growth and proliferating fibroblasts. (C) Remodeling to produce the fibrous scar.

Capillary hydrostatic and osmotic forces are normally balanced, so there is little net movement of fluid into the interstitium. What little fluid accumu- lates is cleared by lymphatic drainage. Edema may result when hydrostatic pressures rise (as in renal failure or heart failure), osmotic pressures fall (as in malnutrition, liver failure, or nephrotic syndrome), vascular per- meability increases (as with inflammation or sepsis), or lymphatic vessels are obstructed.
