A higher-power photomicrograph shows a blood vessel cut in longitudinal section (1). Several of the alveoli are filled with a pink-staining proteinaceous fluid (2) indicative of pulmonary edema. The alveolar septa and the wall of the blood vessel have a purplish color due to massive deposition of mineral (primarily calcium) in these tissues (3).
Pulmonary edema refers to the accumulation of fluid in the pulmonary alveolar and tissue spaces as a result of changes in capillary permeability and/or increases in capillary hydrostatic pressure.
