File:IPLab1LungAbscess1.jpg|This is a gross photograph of the lungs from this case. Note the abscesses (arrows) especially in the lower lobes. The entire lung is consolidated.
File:IPLab1LungAbscess2.jpg|This is a closer view of the lung from this case. In this section of upper lobe there are multiple areas of early abscess formation (arrows). Note the circumscribed whitish-tan lesions. These lesions are filled with white blood cells.
File:IPLab1LungAbscess3.jpg|This low-power photomicrograph of lung from this case demonstrates one of the abscesses (arrows). Note that the material inside the abscess has been expelled. File:IPLab1LungAbscess4.jpg|This higher-power photomicrograph of lung demonstrates the edge of the abscessdegraded and removed. Note the loss of loose necrotic material from the center of inside the abscess (1) and loose necrotic material that has not been expelled (2). This material is made up of inflammatory cells (primarily dead white blood cells) and necrotic lung tissue.
File:IPLab1LungAbscess5.jpg|This is a low-power photomicrograph of lung tissue containing a large abscess. The center of the abscess contains necrotic debris (1) and there is a rim of viable inflammatory cells (arrows) surrounding this abscess.
File:IPLab1LungAbscess6.jpg|This high-power photomicrograph demonstrates a small abscess (arrow) with a necrotic center.
