**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.
