1) Segregated glandular inflammation: This morphologic pattern of inflammation is characterized by

inflammation limited to the glands. It typically involves the infiltration of inflammatory cells, such as
neutrophils, lymphocytes, and plasma cells, in and around the glands. The inflammation may result in
glandular destruction and dysfunction.

2) Periglandular inflammation: In this pattern, inflammation surrounds the glands without direct
involvement of the glandular tissue. The inflammatory cells, including lymphocytes and plasma cells, are
concentrated in the periglandular area. This type of inflammation can be seen in various organs, such as
the liver, pancreas, and salivary glands.

3) Diffuse stromal inflammation: Diffuse stromal inflammation refers to inflammation involving the
connective tissue or stroma of an organ or tissue. The inflammatory cells infiltrate the stroma, which is
the supportive tissue surrounding the functional components of an organ. This pattern can be observed
in various organs and is often associated with chronic inflammation.

4) Isolated stromal lymphoid nodules: This morphologic pattern of inflammation is characterized by the
formation of discrete lymphoid nodules within the stroma of an organ or tissue. These nodules consist of
aggregations of lymphocytes and plasma cells. Isolated stromal lymphoid nodules are commonly
observed in chronic inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and chronic gastritis.

5) Acute necrotizing inflammation: Acute necrotizing inflammation is characterized by the presence of

tissue necrosis, along with an intense inflammatory response. The affected tissue undergoes cellular
death, resulting in tissue destruction and the release of inflammatory mediators. This pattern is often
seen in severe infections, such as gangrenous appendicitis or necrotizing pneumonia.

6) Focal granulomatous inflammation: Focal granulomatous inflammation refers to the formation of

granulomas, which are organized collections of immune cells, including macrophages, lymphocytes, and
multinucleated giant cells. Granulomas are typically found in response to chronic infections or certain
immune-mediated conditions. They can be seen in various organs, such as the lungs, liver, and lymph
nodes.
