Review Question - QID 109859

A 49-year-old obese man presents to the emergency department with a fever and a cough productive of bloody sputum. He has also been waking up at night frequently, which he attributes to sweating while asleep. He is also proud of recently losing some weight but denies actively trying to do so. He says that he has had these symptoms intermittently for the last several years but has not consistently sought treatment because his housing has been transient with periods of homelessness. He is started on a course of therapy and leaves against medical advice before his physician is able to explain the medications. He returns two days later because he is concerned that his eyes are bleeding. The area of the lung most likely affected by this patient's condition has which of the following characteristics?
