**Coagulative necrosis** generally occurs due to an infarct (lack of blood flow from an obstruction causing ischemia) and can occur in all the cells of the body except the brain. The heart, kidney, adrenal glands, or spleen are good examples of coagulative necrosis. Cells that undergo coagulative necrosis can become dry, hard, and white.
On the other hand, **caseous necrosis** is a unique form of cell death in which the tissue maintains a cheese-like appearance. It is also a distinctive form of coagulative necrosis. The dead tissue appears as a soft and white proteinaceous dead cell mass. Frequently, caseous necrosis is encountered in the foci of tuberculosis infections.

Necrosis is the death of cells in your body tissues. When the cells in your tissues die, it can affect many different areas of your body, including your bones, skin, and organs.

Necrosis is the death of cells in your body tissues. When the cells in your tissues die, it can affect many different areas of your body, including your bones, skin, and organs. Some complications of necrosis include leakage and skin irritations, high output resulting in fluid and electrolyte imbalances, or stoma necrosis; late complications include parastomal hernia, stoma prolapse, and stoma stenosis. In the case of avascular necrosis (AVN), when the bone does not get enough oxygen, the bone tissue can die. When there is not enough blood reaching the bone, the joint can narrow and the bone can collapse.
