Miliary Tuberculosis

•  When the immune response is poor or is overwhelmed by an extensive infection, then it is possible to see the gross pattern of granulomatous disease seen here.
•  This is a "miliary" pattern of granulomas because there are a multitude of small tan granulomas, about 2 to 4 mm in size, scattered throughout the lung parenchyma.
• The miliary pattern gets its name from the resemblence of the granulomas to millet seeds.
