Pathology of the larynx and trachea
Congenital anomalies


tracheo-oesophageal fistula: rare, risk of food aspiration
oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula: more
frequent, more serious
Various lesions

trauma: iatrogenic, tracheostomia
compression of trachea: expansion of thyroid

foreign bodies: food

Pathology of the larynx and trachea
Inflammation


epiglottitis: serious complication of surrounding processes in
children – most frequent Haemophilus influensae, type B, oedema
of epiglottis may cause obstruction of respiratory tract. Typical
sign – stridor nad cyanosis
laryngitis and tracheitis: viral etiology is most frequent (parainfluenza viruses), in acute phase infiltration of mucosa with
lymphocytes, macrophages and neutrophils, dilatation of
capillaries, mucous oedema; sometime pseudomembranous
inflammation with necrosis; in chronic phase infiltration with
lymphocytes, signs of reparation, more goblet cells
Pathology of the larynx and trachea
Tumors and pseudotumors



singer’s nodule: benign tumor-like lesion on vocal cords,
fibrous stroma, squamous mucosa
squamous papilloma: viral etiology (HPV), rarely may evolve
into squamous carcinoma
squamous carcinoma: frequent tumor related to tobbaco
smoking, four types:
glotic carcinoma: good prognosis, vocal cords preserved during
treatment, late metastases
 transglotic carcinoma: total laryngectomy is way of treatment,
high risc of hematogenous metastases
 supraglotic carcinoma: possible preservation of vocal cords in
some cases, higher risc of lymphogenous metastases
 infraglotic carcinoma: total laryngectomy is way of treatment,
high risc of hematogenous metastases and lymphogenous
metastases



less frequent malignant tumors: carcinomas of small salivary
glands, sarcomas, adenocarcinomas, malignant melanomas

Pathology of bronchi
Inflammation



common cold (influenza): frequent disease, congestion of
respiratory tract mucosa, infiltration with lymphocytes, may
progress into the pseudomembranous form
adenoviral infection: inflammation of bronches and bronchioles
healed by fibrosis and obliteration of small bronchioles – may
lead to collaps of the lung and bronchiectasia
RSV infection (respiratory syncytial virus): peribronchial
inflammation, small epidemies, fatal course is rare!
Pathology of bronchi
Inflammation
measles (morbilli): may occasionaly lead to obliteration of
bronchioles and bronchiectasias.
 whooping cough (pertusis): caused by Haemofilus pertusis, does
not exist in Central Europe
 fungi: Aspergilus or Candida, in immunosupressed
 bronchial and peribronchial abscess: after aspiration, frequently
in alcoholics

Pathology of bronchi
Bronchial obstruction and aspiration



atelectasis: airless lung from birth
collaps: airless lung developing during life, serious postoperative complication, aspiration of foreign body, bronchial
occlusion
Diffuse alveolar damage
ARDS - adult respiratory distress syndrome: sudden onset,
severe respiratory insufficience, cyanosis, hypoxemia which
does not react to oxygen therapy, hyaline membranes
Pathology of lungs
Pathology of lungs
Congenital anomalies


agenesis, hypoplasia
less frequent lesions: vascular anomalies, congenital lobar
emphysema, congenital bronchogennic cysts, intralobular
and extrapulmonal sekvestration - no connection to
conducting airways
Pathology of lungs
Vascular and cardial diseases




congestion: result of left ventricle failure
lung oedema: acute left ventricular failure or increased
capillary permeability
pulmonary embolism: thrombosis of venous system, sudden
death/pulmonary infarctu/asymptomatic
pulmonary hemorrhage: result of damaged vessel, necrosis,
inflammation and tumors
Pathology of lungs


pulmonary infarct: ¾ of cases in basal lobes, usually
haemorrhagic; septic infarct is presented as pulmonary
abscess
pulmonary hypertension: if the pressure is higher than ¼ of
systemic pressure ; various causes – see our handouts
Pathology of lungs
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Main clinical symptom is breathless (dyspnoe). It contains four
entities – emphysema, chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma,
bronchiectasia
Emphysema
4 types:
(1) centroacinar /centrolobular
(2) panacinar/vesicular
(3) paraseptal
(4) irregular/bulous
Chronic bronchitis







Clinically defined as chronic cough for more that 3 months
without conducting airways conduction
Coused by chronic irritation
Hyperplasia of goblet cell
Increased number of alveolar macrophages
Lymphocytes and fibrosis
Squamous metaplasia
Bronchial asthma
Paroxysmal bronchoconstriction (spasmus)
Severe breathless
 2 types:
• exogenous
• endogenous
 Histology:
• occlusion of bronchi with mucus (Curschmann spirals),
• eosinophils,
• Charcot Leyden crystals
• thickening of basal membrane
• oedema,
• hypertrophy of bronchial muscles (within the wall)


Pathology of lungs
Diffuse interstitial fibrosis



pneumoconioses:
sarcoidosis: non-caseous granulomas, immunologic
abnormalities
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (Hamman-Rich syndrome, diffuse
(cryptogenic) fibrotizing alveolitis, DIP): etiology is not clear,
diffuse interstitial inflammation and fibrosis
Bronchiectasia





Abnormal dilatation of bronchi and bronchioli
Infection
Cystic fibrosis
Immunedeficiency
Interstitial pneumonias
Pathology of lungs
Inflammation
Superficial, interstitial, specific and granulomatous
