Abstract
Background: Autopsy histopathology is useful in cases of undiagnosed cases or suspected cases to confirm the diagnosis in routine and medicolegal cases. There is involvement of lung in various infectious and tumour conditions along with end events of cardiovascular events.
Objective: The present study was done to find spectrum of lung lesions by histopathological examination of lung autopsy tissues.
Material and Methods: The present study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, M.G.M. Medical College Indore, from January 2016 to December 2017. Total 100 cases were studied. The diagnosis in all the cases were made on Hematoxylin and Eosin stained slides of processed tissue.
Results: Among the 100 cases, 37% shows congestion, 17% shows pneumonia, 38% shows nonspecific inflammation, 4% cases show tuberculosis, 1% shows emphysema, 3% shows normal finding. Among all cases 80 were males and 20 were females.
Conclusion: Histopathology examination of autopsy lung tissue is useful for evaluation of underlying lung pathology. The common finds were congestion, nonspecific inflammation and Pneumonia.
Keywords: Autopsy, Histopathology, Pneumonia.
