KROK 1 2019 – Question 63 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathomorphology
Autopsy of a 58-year-old man, who for a long time has been drinking alcohol in large amounts and died at home, is being conducted. Macroscopically the right lung is dense and enlarged, its tissue is gray and homogeneous on section, its pleura is covered with grayish membranous deposits. Microscopically the alveolar cavities contain fibrin threads, neutrophils, and hemolysed erythrocytes. Make the diagnosis:
- A. Interstitial pneumonia
- B. Primary pulmonary tuberculosis
- C. Caseous pneumonia
- D. Croupous pneumonia
- E. Focal pneumonia
Hint
Combine how much of the lung is involved with the kind of exudate in the alveoli and the reaction of the pleura to place this inflammation in a morphological category.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
