Renal_tuberculosis_(6539942987).jpg


Summary

Description This image provides a good example of "caseous necrosis" The "cheesy" appearance of the necrosis is due to incomplete proteolytic digestion of the necrotic tissue and is apparent only on gross or macroscopic examination. The terms "caseous", "caseating" and "caseation" are often used erroneously to describe the microscopic appearance of necrotizing granulomas.
