Answer to Problem 1ARPA

Correct answer: The patient’s primary disease was Lung cancer. Therefore, option c. is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

It is given in the autopsy report that the tumor is originated from the left main bronchus and extends peripherally.

Option c. is given as “lung cancer”. As the patient’s primary disease is lung cancer option c. is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option a. is given as “Blood clots in the lung”. Pulmonary embolism occurs when the blood clot is wedged into the artery of lungs. It was not the primary disease of the patient. Therefore, option a. is incorrect.

Option b. is given as “Mediastinal, pleural, and pericardial inflammation”. The inflammation in the mediastinum, pleural space, and pericardium was not the primary disease of patients. Therefore, option b. is incorrect.

Hence, options a. and b. are incorrect.

Conclusion
The patient’s primary disease was lung cancer.
