Respiratory System

Part of the book series: Monographs on Pathology of Laboratory Animals ((LABORATORY))

Abstract

Small lesions are generally not visible grossly. Larger lesions may appear as white pinpoint foci visible through the pleural surface. An opaque appearance extending over several millimeters may be observed from the pleural surface and cut surface of the largest lesions.
