For each example of necrosis listed on the left select the most suitable description from those on the right

The answer is A, B, E. Caseous necrosis - cheese-like material. This is the typical appearance of tuberculous necrosis, but a similar appearance may also be seen in necrotic tumours, particularly squamous carcinoma.

Coagulative necrosis - dull, swollen firm area. This is typical of infarction in solid organs such as heart, kidney. Histologically 'ghost' outlines of the tissue structure are still present.

Colliquative necrosis - soft, liquefying material. This is typical of necrotic tissue with a high content of fluid, i.e., brain tissue. Histologically the tissue structure is lost.
