LUNG, RIGHT UPPER LOBE (ABNORMAL AREA ON CT), WEDGE RESECTION: | |||
- PULMONARY ALVEOLAR PROTEINOSIS, SEE COMMENT. | |||
- NO SIGNIFICANT INTERSTITIAL FIBROSIS. | |||
- NO SIGNIFICANT INFLAMMATION. | |||
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY. | |||
</pre> | |||
===Micro=== | |||
Sections show lung with eosinophilic material in the airspaces. Focally, small (~20 micrometres), more dense appearing, bodies are also in the airspace. The alveolar walls are within normal limits. No significant inflammation is identified. No microorganisms are seen with routine stains. There is no pulmonary hemorrhage. | |||
