Morphological Changes in Regional Lymph Nodes in Pulmonary Pneumosclerosis

Abstract

Pulmonary fibrosis is a pathological process in the lungs characterized by refractoriness to therapy and high mortality rates, it represents a heterogeneous group of disorders with progressive and irreversible destruction of lung architectonics due to scarring, which ultimately leads to organ dysfunction, gas exchange disorders and death due to respiratory failure. [D.V. Bestaev, 2014]. But changes in the lymph nodes during the fibrous process of the lung tissue are poorly understood. The article presents a review of the literature on structural changes in regional lymph nodes that occur in experimental pulmonary fibrosis.
