This is a gross photograph of a lung containing a nodular lesion at the lung apex (arrows). Note that the lesion appears solid and has a whitish coloration indicating considerable fibrous connective tissue. This is a healed granuloma due to primary tuberculosis in the lung. There are smaller focal lesions adjacent to the major mass. In addition, note the extensive anthracosis in this lung.
Nodular hyperplasia of the prostate--characterized by large discrete prostatic nodules--is a common disorder in men over 50 years of age. The nodules cause the prostate to be enlarged and to have an increased weight. The human prostate is surrounded by a restrictive capsule. These nodules cause increased pressure within the capsule which leads to constriction of the urethra as it passes through the prostate. Urethral constriction leads to retention of urine.
