Lung Pathology Quiz

What is the type of emphysema in this picture?

• Distal acinar

• Centriacinar

• Panacinar

Both gross lung samples shows numerous dilated airways which extend to the lung periphery. The lungs also show fibrosis of the bronchial & bronchiolar walls and peribronchiolar fibrosis. What is the diagnosis?

• Asthma

• Emphysema

• Tuberculosis

• Bronchiectasis

A patient has died from severe shortness of breath, hypoxemia and cyanosis. An autopsy was done and histology sample of lung tissue is shown as in the picture. What is the diagnosis?

• Pulmonary edema

• Lung abscess

• Pulmonary embolism

• Pulmonary infarction

Which of the following lung carcinoma most commonly associated with hypercalcemia?

• Adenocarcinoma

• Small cell carcinoma

• Squamous cell carcinoma

• Bronchioalveolar carcinoma

Which of the following morphologic changes is characteristic of pulmonary hypertension?

• Medial thickening of pulmonary arterioles

• Hyaline membrane lining airspaces

• Haemorrhage in alveolar lumen

• Fibrosis of alveolar wall

Histologic examination of lung tissue reveals multiple suppurative, neutrophil-rich exudates that fill the bronchi and bronchioles and spill over into the adjacent alveolar spaces only. The majority of lung tissue is not involved in this inflammatory process. Hyaline membranes are not found. This histologic appearance best describes

• Bronchopneumonia

• Lobar pneumonia

• Lung abscess

• Emphysema

Caseating granuloma is a characteristic histology of a

• Lung abscess

• Pulmonary hypertension

A patient with pulmonary embolism is most commonly has

• no symptom

• haemoptysis

• dyspnea

• chest pain
