The histopathological pattern of pulmonary diseases were determined based on age, gender, and nationality of tertiary hospital in holly Makkah, Saudi Arabia. A cohort retrospective study all histopathological diagnosed cases of lung diseases between January 2003 and December 2012 through a computerized database search of the anatomic pathology archives. Out of 419 case studies, the most common histopathological diagnosed pulmonary diseases were pulmonary infections 218 (52%), followed by lung tumors 112 (26.7%), restrictive and obstructive lung diseases 18 cases for each (4.3%), and congenital pulmonary airway malformation 11 (2.6%). The percentage of in sufficient and unsatisfactory biopsies was 8.2% , 2% showed no pathological diagnosis on histological examination. Out of 218 cases (52%) of pulmonary infections, 139 (33.2%) were bacterial infections, and 36 cases (8.66%) were tuberculosis, and pulmonary bullae came 3rth with 18 cases (4.3%). In the other hand, out of 26.7% lung tumors, 98.8% were malignant and 95.9% of them were primary. Bacterial infection was the most common pulmonary disease identified histopathological in every age group, while lung cancer came 2nd in patients of 40 years and above. We concluded that pulmonary infections are the most common form of histopathological diagnosed lung diseases followed by lung tumors.
