This is to report the data of patho-histological studies on sclerosis of pleura and lung tissues obtained from 12 resected lobes operated at the Kiyose National Sanatorium. In the 1st and 2nd reports, we classified sclerosis of pleura into 4 types and fibresis of lung tissue into 4 stages. The same classifications were applied to the observation of the above mentioned materials. Results were as follows;
1) In 10 lobectomied cases, the same conclusion was obtained as in the 1st and 2nd reports. However, more intensive and frequent hemorrhage, hyperemia and exsudation subsequent to the operative manipulation were observed.
2) One empyema case and one hemothorax case were observed and lobectomied. They had developed into ‘unexpandable lungs’, subsequent to the artificial pneumothorax. Their clinical findings were compared and discussed together with their histapathological findings in the sclerosis of pleura and the lung tissues obtained by means of resection. In these two cases, almost same conclusions were obtained as in case of the 1st and 2nd reports.
