Abstract

G. G. Nepryakhin: "A case of right lung hamartoma and peculiar lymphogranulematosis", (with demonstration of macro- and micro preparations). The reporter on autopsy of the corpse of a 39-year-old man found that the right lung was very small, its lobes and lobules were inconspicuous, its tissue was of fleshy density and appearance, without carbonaceous accumulations. The usual lung tissue was nowhere to be found under the microscope, the main mass of the organ was a delicate connective tissue, in which numerous short bundles of smooth muscles, nerve fibers, isolated large cartilaginous plates were arranged in disorder, adipose tissue, small nests of epithelial cells, clumps of lymphocytes, numerous blood vessels, long, narrow, straight or branching bronchial passages with cylindrical epithelium and formations resembling non-breathing embryonic alveoli. There were no inflammatory phenomena anywhere. A similar case was not described in the literature.
