Scleroderma Pulmonary Hypertension and Right Heart Failure |
|
This 32 year old female has scleroderma and her disease is characterized by interstitial basal lung disease (a,b) with normal anterior lung fields and fibrotic posterior lung fields, enlargement of right heart structures (maroon in d), pericardial effusion (light yellow in d), pleural effusions (dark yellow in d) and an edematous wall (orange, in f) of the gallbladder (lumen is green). As a result of her lung disease she developed pulmonary hypertension, right heart failure and tricuspid regurgitation and this lead to the gallbladder edema. 30464c08 32 Courtesy Ashley Davidoff MD |

Emphysema |
| This is an image of an emphysematous lung. Note the larger air spaces where the septae between the alveoli, alveolar sacsalveolar ducts and respiratory bronchioles have been broken down. 19932e code lung pulmonary artery pulmonary vein bronchus emphysema bulla bullous mechanical grosspathology |

Emphysema of the Lung |
| This high resolution image of the lung shows early cetrilobular emphysema in the right upper lobe. This degree of emphysema may be seen in a patient who smakes in their early 50’s or in an elderly patient as age related change in their 70’s or 80’s who has not smoked.
