Background: Organ specific pathological changes seen during autopsy give a clear idea of the cause of death. Lungs are one of the most important vital organs in the human body. They are almost always involved in terminal events of cardiovascular diseases. Autopsy is important not only to know the state of lungs but also to study the morphology of various diseases. Various studies have demonstrated that, 20-30% of sudden deaths are due to underlying pulmonary pathology. Aims and objectives: The significance of this study is to highlight the spectrum of histomorphological features of lung lesions in medico-legal autopsies irrespective of cause of death. Material and Methods: This was a retrospective study Medico legal autopsies over a period of 5 years carried out in the Department of Pathology in coordination with the Department of Forensic Medicine, Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences. Standard protocols are used for gross and histopathology processing. Results: After thorough histopathological examination, of total 100 cases, various lesions were identified in 93 cases, in 7 cases tissue was autolysed. Majority cases seen in the age group of 20-40yrs with male predominance. The most common cause of death was Road Traffic Accident (RTA) and majority victims were males. The commonly observed pathological features congestion and oedema (44.4%), Pneumonia(26.8%), CVC(22.2%) tuberculosis(9.6%) and ARDS(6.6%). Conclusion: The present study observed and documented histomorphological spectrum of lung lesions in medicolegal autopsies and highlighted various pathological conditions which are either direct or indirect cause of death. This study emphasizes that spectrum of histopathological changes in lungs of autopsy cases irrespective of cause of death and highlights some incidental interesting findings in lungs.
