KROK 1 2009 – Question 97 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathomorphology
Autopsy of a man with a malignant stomach tumour who had died from cancer intoxication revealed in the posteroinferior lung fields some dense, grayish-red irregular foci protruding above the section surface. Microscopic examination revealed exudate containing a large amount of neutrophils in the lumen and walls of small bronchi and alveoles. Such pulmonary alterations indicate the following disease:
- A. Acute bronchitis
- B. Croupous pneumonia
- C. Intermittent pneumonia
- D. Acute serous bronchopneumonia
- E. Acute purulent bronchopneumonia
Hint
Consider the composition of the exudate and whether the foci are patchy or involve a whole lobe, then pick the matching form of lung inflammation.
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.
