Knowledge of normal organ weights gives the doctors idea about of whether the organ is normal or not. So, it is very important for autopsy surgeons to know the organ weights. But, Organ weights probably depend on part on body weight of the individual. So, current study was undertaken at Mortuary complex of S.S.G. Hospital, Baroda during 1st July 2013 to 30th June 2015. Total 200 cases based on inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected and subjected to statistical analysis. Results obtained were compared with earlier studies. Right lung weight and Left Lung weight was noted to be 0.89% – 0.68% and 0.86% – 0.65% of body weight respectively, which is lower than the textbooks. This type of variations demands another research.
