This is a gross photograph of the lungs from a patient (not the patient from this case) with acute lobar pneumonia. The lung lobe in the upper-right portion of the photograph is affected with pneumonia (arrows). It has a whitish discoloration and appears swollen compared to the more pink-staining normal lung lobe in the lower right and left-hand portions of this photograph.

In alcoholics, aspiration pneumonia is common--bacteria enter the lung via aspiration of gastric contents.
