Necrosis Flashcards
Necrosis
Death Of cells and tissues in the living animal
Necrosis is localised area of death of tissues followed later by degradation of tissue by hydrologic enzymes liberated from death cells
Inflammatory reaction will be there
Always pathological and occurs in the group of cells
What the Types of necrosis
CCCFF
Coagulation necrosis
Colliquative /liquefaction
Caseous
Fat
Fibrinoid
Coagulative necrosis
Architectural details are there but cytoplasmic and nuclear features are absent
Tissues can be recognised
Denaturation of structural and enzymatic proteins block proteolysis
Causes of the
Ishchemia except brain all organs will undergo this coagulative necrosis
Mild burns
Zenkers degeneration necrosis
Grossly how the coagulative necrosis
Early: pale ,firm,slightly swollen
With progressing more yellowish ,softer,shrunken
Microscopic features of the coagulative necrosis
Thomb stones.
Necrotic cells are swollen and more eosinophilic
Pyknosis, karyohexisis,karylosis
Inflammatory cells
Coagulative necrosis
Most common
Architectural details are present but nuclear and cytoplasmic details
Causes are ischemic
Zenkers diverticulum
Thermal injury
Grossly pale ,firm ,swollen,yellow
Microscopically = thomb stones
Pyknosis, karyolysis, karyohexisis,
Inflammatory cells
Liqufactive necrosis
Here the hydrologic enzymes are more so these,I fluid material is formed
No architectural and cytoplasmic and nuclear features are present
Causes of liquefaction necrosis
Pyogenic bacterial infections attract neutrophils
Bacterial and leukocytes enzymes liquefy dead cells amd tissues
Ischemic necrosis of brain
Gross appearance of liquefactive necrosis
Affected area is
Soft and liquefied central containing necrotic debris
Later cyst wall is formed
Liqufactive necrosis
Semi solid
Architectural details are are lost and nuclear details are also lost
Causes
pyogenic infections
Brain
Caseous necrosis
Cheese like dead tissue is converted into
Homogeneous granular mass resembles the cottage cheese
No archetectural details as well as cytoplasmic and nuclear details are lost
Accumulation of amorphous debris within an area of necrosis
Causes of caseous necrosis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Sphylis
Fungi(histoplasmosis and coccidomucosis)
Gross appearance of caseous
Dry cheese and are soft,granular and yellowish
Fat necrosis
Occurs in the fat laid anatomical places
Breast,pancreas,(mesentric fat necrosis) omentum
Breast ( fat and pendulous breast)
