Abstract
Autopsies determine death identification, causality, temporal elements, and chronological connection. Autopsies show primary and secondary lung lesions. This research examined the histological features of post‐mortem lung tissue samples to investigate a broad range of lung diseases. The study was conducted at the Mysore Medical College and Research Institute Department of Pathology autopsy unit. A total of 80 lung autopsy specimens were collected from December 1, 2014‐May 31, 2016. The specimens underwent paraffin sectioning, followed by Haematoxylin and Eosin staining. Macroscopic and microscopic examinations were conducted to comprehensively explore the histological characteristics. Among the 80 cases that were examined, it was observed that 3 cases had normal results. The age range of the patients varied from 13 years‐85 years. The most common histology finding in surviving individuals was pulmonary Edema (27.5%). This was followed by 22.5% emphysema, 12.5% interstitial pneumonitis, 11.25% pneumonia, 10% cardiovascular congestion lung, 8.75% intra alveolar haemorrhage, 2.5% Tuberculosis and 1.25% aspergillosis. The prevalence of pulmonary Edema, emphysema and various inflammatory conditions highlights the significance of histological analysis in advancing our understanding of respiratory pathologies.
