1
Splenic infarcts – gross Coagulative necrosis Two large infarctions (areas of coagulative necrosis) are seen in this sectioned spleen. Since the etiology of coagulative necrosis is usually vascular with loss of blood supply, the infarct occurs in a vascular distribution. Thus, infarcts are often wedge-shaped with a base on the organ capsule.
2
Infarcted bowel – gross wet gangrene The small intestine is infarcted. The dark red to grey infarcted bowel contrasts with the pale pink normal bowel at the bottom
3
Myocardium photomic
4
Adrenal infarct -- Micro
5
3 stages of coagulative necrosis (L to R) -- micro Microscopically, the renal cortex has undergone anoxic injury at the left so that the cells appear pale and ghost-like. There is a hemorrhagic zone in the middle where the cells are dying or have not quite died, and then normal renal parenchyma at the far right. This is an example of coagulative necrosis
6
Lung abscesses (liquefactive necrosis) -- gross Extensive acute inflammation may lead to abscess formation, as seen here with rounded abscesses (the purulent material has drained out after sectioning to leave a cavity) in upper lobe and lower lobe
7
Liver abscess – micro liquefactive necrosis The liver shows a small abscess here filled with many neutrophils. This abscess is an example of localized liquefactive necrosis
8
Liquefactive necrosis -- gross Grossly, the cerebral infarction at the upper left here demonstrates liquefactive necrosis. Eventually, the removal of the dead tissue leaves behind a cavity
9
Liquefactive necrosis of brain -- micro This is liquefactive necrosis in the brain in a patient who suffered a "stroke" with focal loss of blood supply to a portion of cerebrum.
10
Organizing liquefactive necrosis with cysts -- gross As this infarct in the brain is organizing and being resolved, the liquefactive necrosis leads to resolution with cystic spaces
11
Macrophages cleaning liquefactive necrosis -- micro At high magnification, liquefactive necrosis of the brain demonstrates many macrophages at the right which are cleaning up the necrotic cellular debris
12
Caseous necrosis -- gross
13
Caseous -- gross
14
Extensive caseous necrosis -- gross
15
Caseous necrosis lungs -- micro Microscopically, caseous necrosis is characterized by acellular pink areas of necrosis, as seen here at the upper right, surrounded by a granulomatous inflammatory process
16
Fat necrosis -- gross
17
Fat necrosis pancreas -- micro Microscopically, fat necrosis adjacent to pancreas is seen here. There are some remaining steatocytes at the left which are not necrotic. The necrotic fat cells at the right have vague cellular outlines, have lost their peripheral nuclei, and their cytoplasm has become a pink amorphous mass of necrotic material
18
Gangrene -- gross

Wet gangrene -- gross

Myocyte adaptation Ch. 1, p. 2, Fig. 1-2
22
Physiologic hypertrophy See Ch. 1, p. 3. Fig. 1-3
23
Left ventricular hypertrophy -- gross
24
Muscle atrophy -- micro There are some muscle fibers here that show atrophy. The number of cells is the same as before the atrophy occurred, but the size of some fibers is reduced. This is a response to injury by "downsizing" to conserve the cell
25
Physiologic atrophy See also Ch. 1, p. 5, Fig. 1-4
26
Atrophic testis -- gross The testis at the right has undergone atrophy and is much smaller than the normal testis at the left
27
Squamous metaplasia See Ch. 1, p. 5, Fig. 1-5
28
Gastric metaplasia in esophagus -- micro
