Correlation of radiological and pathological findings from patients with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis

摘要

We have reported results of histopathological study on invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and its was emerged t hat a difference of neutrophilic response is an important factor to modify the pathologic feature of the disease. Present study describes a pathological and radiological correlation of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis to know details of the development and radiographic characteristics of the disease. Materials and Methods: 54 autopsies of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis including 20 cases who could be evaluated radiographically enough. Result and Discussion: The distribution of the radiographic alterations included bilateral and multiple shadow (n chemical bounds 13), solitary and unilateral shadow (n chemical bounds 5, left (n chemical bounds 2). Radiographic features included irregular infiltration (n chemical bounds 3), cavity shadow (n chemical bounds 6), patchyodular shado (n chemical bounds 5), wdege-shape shadow (n chemical bounds 3) and mass-like shadow (n chemical bounds 3). As compared with pathological findings, most of the cases having lesions consisted of the proliferation the fungal elment in the alveolar space with inflammatory infiltration as such as ronchopneumonia.
