The present study discusses the description of the tubercules of the lung which appeared in the 1826 edition of the treatise De l’auscultation médiate (1819) by Laennec, the author with Bayle of the first anatomo-clinical conceptualisation of pulmonary tuberculosis. Employing the analytical framework developed by Othmar Keel, the study investigates the interrelationships between two contemporaneous modes of interpreting the pathological evidence—the localist vision and the anatomo-pathological conception—in order to understand the influences of the surgical model upon the progress of anatomical, physiopathological, and tissue investigations by researchers such as Hunter and Bichat.
