Q

Necrosis

A

It is changes that accompany the cell death , generated by degradative action of enzymes released out of lysosomes of the dying cell itself OR the leukocytes (WBCs)

Q

Necrosis detection in MI & hepatitis :

A
  1. Necrotic myocytes release certain isoform of creatine kinase and contractile protein troponin within the circulation
  2. Necrotic hepatocytes release alkaline phosphatase and transaminases (GPT and GOT )

Q

Necrosis appearance in LM :

A
  1. Increased cytoplasmic eosinophilia ( eosin binds with denatured cytoplasmic proteins )
  2. Glassy homogenous appearance ( loss of glycogen particles )
  3. Vacuolated cytoplasm ( degradation of organelles )
  4. Myelin figures ( replacement of dead cells usually )

Q

Abscess occurs due to

A

Pyogenic bacterial or fungal infection producing pus

19
Q

Pus definition

A

Necrotic tissue with inflammatory cells are transformed into thick yellow creamy material

20
Q

Liquefactive necrosis mechanism

A
  1. Complete digestion of dead cells
  2. Transformation into a viscous liquid
  3. Loss of the general architecture of tissue
21
Q

How to get rid of Liquefactive necrotic tissue

A

Phagocytosis

22
Q

Caseous necrosis gross appearance :

A
  • cheesy yellow white necrotic area
  • Nicrotic material : soft greasy
23
Q

Caseous necrosis macroscopically

A
  • complete loss of tissue architecture and fragments ( structureless and amorphous granulomas )
24
Q

Caseous necrosis microscopically :

A
  1. Epithelioid cells ( altered macrophages )
  2. Granuloma ( whole necrotic lesion )
  3. Langerhan’s giant cells ( multi uncleared giant cells )
25
Q

Caseous necrosis found in diseases as :

A
  1. Tuberculous infection
  2. Tuberculous lymphadenitis
26
Q

Severe tuberculosis is characterised by :

A

There are cystic spaces ( cavitation ) in the destructed tissue

27
Q

What is fat necrosis ?

A

Fat destruction due to release of activated pancreatic lipases

28
Q

Where could fat necrosis be found ?

A

Fat cells in and around the pancreas , in omentum , and subcutaneous tissue .

29
Q

Cases related to fat necrosis :

A
  1. Acute hepatitis
    2.trauma to fat
30
Q

What happens in acute pancreatitis ?

A
  1. Pancreatic enzymes are released out of the acinar cells and ducts that liquefy the membrane of fat cells
  2. Lipases split of the triglycerides within the cytoplasm of fat cells
  3. Accumulated fatty acids combine with calcium
31
Q

Trauma to fat

A

In breast and subcutaneous tissue

32

Q

H&E stain

A
35
Q

What is Fibrinoid Necrosis in polyarthritis nodosa :
