Caseous necrosis is a condition that is known to occur when there is a breakdown of tissue in the body. It is also known as cheese-like necrosis due to the soft and crumbly texture that the affected tissues take on. Other names for caseous necrosis include TB necrosis, tubercular necrosis, and cheesy necrosis. These terms are often used interchangeably depending on the context in which they are being used. Caseous necrosis is often associated with tuberculosis, but it can also occur in other conditions such as fungal infections and some types of cancer. Regardless of the name used, understanding the symptoms and causes of this condition is crucial in its diagnosis and treatment.
