Basic autopsy cutting
In non-forensic Autopsy:
- Dissect the pulmonary arterial system, from the pulmonary trunk and including at least segmental arteries.
- Dissect the bronchial tree, at least to segmental bronchi. Check for obstructions.
- Make some additional sections through the lung parenchyma. Squeeze at each side to detect any pus and edema.[1]
- Additional information: Autopsy.
Microscopic evaluation
Most common lung pathologies:[2][3]
- Edema and congestion (often together).
- Pneumonia
- Tuberculosis in regions with substantial prevalence
- Carcinoma
-
Edema
-
Gross pathology of miliary "millet seed-like" tuberculosis
