Lung Biopsy Pathology of Five Patients with Chronic Lung Abscess Associated with P. micra

No. Lesion Site Biopsy Method Lung Biopsy Pathology
1 Left upper lung lobe CT-guided percutaneous lung puncture Chronic suppurative inflammation of lung tissue
2 Right middle lung lobe Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration Chronic inflammation of lung with cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
3 Left lower lung lobe CT-guided percutaneous lung puncture Chronic inflammation of lung tissue with fibrous hyperplasia
4 Right upper lung lobe CT-guided percutaneous lung puncture 1. (At early onset) lung tissue, with fibrous tissue hyperplasia in the alveolar cavity;
2. (After 8.5 months) lung tissue, interstitial fibrous tissue hyperplasia with multiple inflammatory cell infiltration
5 Left upper lung lobe
  1. CT-guided percutaneous lung puncture

  2. Surgical resection

1. Chronic inflammation with fibrous tissue hyperplasia and infiltration of the lymph, plasma cells, and eosinophils, regional necrosis
2. Bronchogenic cyst with chronic suppurative inflammation and the formation of a multifocal abscess

Abbreviation: CT, computed tomography.
