This is a gross photograph of the right lung from the patient in this case. This lung shows complete consolidation with a marked infiltration of neutrophils throughout the tissue giving the lung a whitish discoloration. Note the extensive black pigment in this lung due to anthracosis. This is an advanced case of lobar pneumonia with extensive necrosis which obviously did not resolve, thus resulting in the death of the patient.

In alcoholics, aspiration pneumonia is common--bacteria enter the lung via aspiration of gastric contents.
