FIG. 1.
(A) Gross image of accessory lung lobe sectioned just after surgery and prior to fixation. The plant awn is within the abscess that is surrounded by pale parenchymal tissue. Note the exudate in all of the airways. (B) Cytology of the sputum sample from the canine patient. Wright's-Giemsa stain; magnification, ×600. Note the markedly degenerate neutrophils and the monomorphic population of thin, rod- to filament-shaped bacteria within neutrophils and in the background substance. (C) Hematoxylin-and-eosin-stained lung biopsy sample; magnification, ×40. Note the suppurative inflammation in the airway.
