| Zenker's necrosis | A form of severe hyaline degeneration or necrosis in skeletal muscle, occurring in severe infections. Synonym: waxy degeneration, Zenker's necrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zonal necrosis | Necrosis predominantly affecting or limited to an anatomical zone, especially parts of the hepatic lobules defined according to proximity to either the portal tracts or central (hepatic) veins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| femur head necrosis | Aseptic or avascular necrosis of the femoral head. The major types are idiopathic (primary), as a complication of fractures or dislocations, and legg-perthes disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fibrinoid necrosis | Necrosis in which the necrotic tissue has some staining reactions resembling fibrin and becomes deeply eosinophilic, homogenous, and refractile. (05 Mar 2000) |
| focal necrosis | Occurrence of numerous, relatively small or tiny, fairly well-circumscribed, usually spheroidal portions of tissue that manifest coagulative, caseous, or gummatous necrosis and are characteristically associated with agents that are haematogenously disseminated; frequently observed only in histologic sections, but the foci may be as large as 1 to 3 mm and macroscopically visible; arbitrarily, foci larger than that are usually not termed focal necrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laminar cortical necrosis | The breaking down of a definite cell layer in the cerebral cortex, encountered typically after temporary cardiac arrest or perinatal hypoxia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| liquefactive necrosis | A type of necrosis characterised by a fairly well-circumscribed, microscopically or macroscopically visible lesion that consists of the dull, opaque or turbid, gray-white to yellow-gray, soft or boggy, partly or completely fluid remains of tissue that became necrotic and was digested by enzymes, especially proteolytic enzymes liberated from disintegrating leukocytes; it is classically observed in abscesses, and frequently in infarcts of the brain.
