This is a gross photograph of the lungs from this case. The rough friable material on the surface of the lung (arrows) is fibrinous exudate and fibrous tissue. This reaction on the surface of the lung is due to the recent surgery. The emphysematous changes are not easily appreciated in this photograph.

Friable material is easily crumbled.
Consolidation is the filling of lung air spaces with exudate--this is a sign of pneumonia.
