Photographs, X-Rays and Pictures of
Normal and Diseased Lungs

The New Inogen One and Sequal Eclipse  portable oxygen concentrator

The following 4 pages contain some excellent photographs, pictures and x-rays of normal and
diseased lungs so please be sure to have a look at all pages. They are being shown on our website
courtesy of Dr. Frederic W. Grannis Jr., MD, a thoracic surgeon. We thank him very much
for allowing us to use them on our web site!

If you are likely to become upset or offended by viewing these images of
diseased organs, you should not proceed beyond this point!

The chest and abdominal cavities are opened here at autopsy. The lungs in the chest have a normal pink aerated appearance with minimal anthracotic pigmentation, because this 80 year old male never smoked and never allowed smoking in his workplace. The mediastinum contains mostly fat. The pericardial sac around the heart has not been opened.The diaphragmatic domes extend upward to the level of the 6th ribs. A Normal Lung A Lung With Emphysema   Small cell anaplastic (oat cell) carcinoma A lung severly damaged from smoking Emphysema, representating a late 20th century version of "The Masque of the Red Death" in Edgar Allen Poe's short story, is shown here. Note the loss of lung parenchyma with irregular holes. It should be remembered that deaths from emphysema, as well as lung cancer, have increased greatly over the past few decades because of smoking. This is a larger squamous cell carcinoma in which a portion of the tumor demonstrates central cavitation, probably because the tumor outgrew its blood supply.Squamous cell carcinomas are one of the more common primary malignancies of lung and are most often seen in smokers.   See More Normal and Diseased Lung Xrays Here
