Introduction: Autopsy is a procedure that helps to study the
cause of death. It should be followed by the histopathological
examination as it can help in studying the disease process.
Aim: To study the prevalence and pattern of lung and liver
diseases in medicolegal and neonatal autopsies along with
histopathological examination.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was
carried out to highlight histopathological findings in lung and
liver medicolegal and neonatal autopsies. A total of 51 lung
and 46 liver autopsy samples were received in the department
during the study period.
Results: The findings that were observed on histopathological
examination of lung were oedema, congestion,
bronchopneumonia, emphysema, tubercular pneumonia,
meconium aspiration, pulmonary hypoplasia, interstitial
pneumonia, type I congenital adenomatoid malformation and
fungal pneumonia. The findings seen on the histopathological
examination of the liver specimens were sinusoidal and
vascular congestion, cirrhosis, steatosis, chronic hepatitis,
chronic venous congestion, granulomatous inflammation,
adenocarcinoma, portal triaditis and hepatic peliosis. However,
there were 14 cases among the lung and liver autopsy cases
which showed incidental pathological findings which were not
known at the time of death.
Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of
histopathological report in lung and liver autopsy cases. |
