There are several types of muscle necrosis, which can be classified based on the underlying cause and the pattern of muscle damage:
Coagulative Necrosis: Typically seen in ischemic conditions where muscle tissue architecture is preserved initially. Liquefactive Necrosis: Often associated with infections, where the muscle tissue becomes liquefied. Caseous Necrosis: Seen in conditions like tuberculosis, characterized by a cheese-like appearance. Fibrinoid Necrosis: Occurs in autoimmune diseases, where immune complexes deposit in the muscle tissue.
