Necrosis is a type of cell death that is characterized by inflammation.
Classic types
As per Robbins:[1]
- Coagulative.
- Liquefactive.
- Gangreneous.
- Caseous.
- Fatty necrosis.
- Fibrinoid.
Coagulative
Features:[2]
- General: most common; proteinlysis > autolysis/heterolysis.
- Where/when: all tissue except the brain.
- Microscopic: cell outlines present.
Liquefactive
Features:[2]
- General: proteinlysis < autolysis/heterolysis.
- Where/when: infections, brain, abscess.
- Microscopic: nothing left; pink on H&E.
Others
- Gangrenous: coagulative necrosis in ischemic limb.
- Caseous: chessy material; tuberculosis.
- Fat: adipose tissue, e.g. pancreatitis.
- Fibrinoid: immune complex mediated; bright-pink in vessel walls.
Other types
- Cystic medial necrosis.
- Acute tubular necrosis.
- Contraction band necrosis.
- Dirty necrosis.
Gross
Coagulative necrosis:
- Soft.
- Grey or white.
Liquefactive necrosis:
- Mushy, grey.
- Porridge-like consistency.

Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Dead cells - (too much pink on H&E) - one of the following:
- Anucleate cells ("Ghost cells") - outlines of cells only.
- Usually subtle.
- Fluffy appearance.
- Karyolysis - nucleus disintegrating.
- Karyorrhexis - nucleus fragmenting.
- Pyknosis - nuclear strinkage.
- Weak sign.
- Anucleate cells ("Ghost cells") - outlines of cells only.
- Inflammation - typically neutrophils (very common).
DDx of necrosis:
- Fibrin.
Notes:
- Inflammation is a reactive phenomenon; it requires blood flow.
- Post-mortem it is not found.

Stains
- Martius scarlet blue stain - fibroid necrosis = red.
