Coagulative necrosis
See this in infarcts in any tissue (except brain)
Due to loss of blood
Gross: tissue is firm
Micro: Cell outlines are preserved (cells look ghostly), and everything looks red
Liquefactive necrosis
See this in infections and, for some unknown reason, in brain infarcts
Due to lots of neutrophils around releasing their toxic contents, “liquefying” the tissue
Gross: tissue is liquidy and creamy yellow (pus)
Micro: lots of neutrophils and cell debris
Caseous necrosis
See this in tuberculosis
Due to the body trying to wall off and kill the bug with macrophages
Gross: White, soft, cheesy-looking (“caseous”) material
Micro: fragmented cells and debris surrounded by a collar of lymphocytes and macrophages (granuloma)
Fat necrosis
See this in acute pancreatitis
Damaged cells release lipases, which split the triglyceride esters within fat cells
Gross: chalky, white areas from the combination of the newly-formed free fatty acids with calcium (saponification)
Micro: shadowy outlines of dead fat cells (see image above); sometimes there is a bluish cast from the calcium deposits, which are basophilic
Fibrinoid necrosis
See this in immune reactions in vessels
Complexes of antigens and antibodies (immune complexes) combine with fibrin
Gross: changes too small to see grossly
Micro: vessel walls are thickened and pinkish-red (called “fibrinoid” because it looks like fibrin but has other stuff in there too
Gangrenous necrosis
See this when an entire limb loses blood supply and dies (usually the lower leg)
This isn’t really a different kind of necrosis, but people use the term clinically so it’s worth knowing about
Gross: skin looks black and dead; underlying tissue is in varying stages of decomposition
Micro: initially there is coagulative necrosis from the loss of blood supply (this stage is called “dry gangrene”); if bacterial infection is superimposed, there is liquefactive necrosis (this stage is called “wet gangrene”)
