===[[Congenital Alveolar Dysplasia]]===

−

*Most common in dogs

−

*Grossly:

−

**Lungs retain fetal appearance and are poorly aerated

−

*Histologically:

−

**Uneven size and shape of alveoli, smaller number overall

−

**Dilated blood vessels within extensive interstitial tissue

−

*It is possible that in utero infection may contribute to this
