    Sharon,
    Why do you call it a disease ?
    Are the white masses in the picture soft and easily broken up with a probe
    or fork ?
    It looks like it may just be body fluids solidified by cooking. I have seen
    soft white material ( cooked fluids) inside lobster shell, but admittedly
    yours look very regular/symmetrical.

    had cooked the meat and it had turned out like this after being processed
    from live lobsters that day.
