*Commonly found post mortem
*Can be a consequence of:
# [[Pulmonary Embolism, Thrombosis and Infarction|'''Septic emboli''']] lodging in the pulmonary vessels
# '''Extension''' from severe focal suppurative [[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Bronchopneumonia|bronchopneumonia]]
# '''Aspiration''' of foreign material (see [[Lungs Inflammatory - Pathology#Aspiration pneumonia|aspiration pneumonia]])
# Direct '''penetration'''
*The pattern of abscessation can suggest the aetiology i.e. multiple widespread abscesses suggest a haematogenous origin; isolated cranioventral abscesses usually arise from suppurative pneumonia.
