Necrosis Curdled

Cheesy necrosis (n. caseosa) is a type of necrosis in which dead areas of tissue turn into a soft, cheesy mass of white or light yellow color. This type of necrosis often occurs in pulmonary tuberculosis, when caseous masses form in the lung tissue.

Cheesy necrosis is also called caseous necrosis or simply caseosis. Microscopy in the area of ​​caseous necrosis reveals an accumulation of necrotic masses without obvious signs of inflammation. Caseous masses can undergo keratinization and mineralization with the formation of stones.

Cheesy necrosis most often occurs in tuberculosis, but can also be observed in other chronic inflammatory diseases. To make a final diagnosis, histological examination is necessary. Timely treatment can prevent further development and complications of cheesy necrosis.

Curd necrosis (lat. necrosis caseoa - synonyms: caseous form, curd) is one of the pathological conditions that is characterized by multiple foci of tissue necrosis and necrosis with the formation of curdled masses and unpleasant symptoms, especially with tissue deformation. This disease is common in surgery and dermatology. This pathological condition can occur either locally or spread to a large part of the body.

Symptoms Caseosis - painful and unpleasant sensations under the skin, which can spread to nearby tissues - swelling of tissues in the affected area - redness of the skin over the affected areas - discharge of a curdled mass or pus - formation of necrotic ulcers
