Honeycomb lung

 

 

This section of lung is from a patient with longstanding sarcoidosis and obstructive lung disease. See invasive

aspergillosis  for more history of this patient. It shows extensive interstitial fibrosis, cystic spaces, and areas

 of emphysema. Elsewhere sections from this patient showed old fibrosed non-necrotizing granulomas.
