[G. nekrōsis, death, fr. nekroō, to make dead]necrosis (ne-kro'sis) ('sez?) plural.necroses [Gr. nekrosis, (state of) death] NECROSIS: Necrotic wound of the footThe death of cells, tissues, or organs. Necrosis may be caused by insufficient blood supply, pathogenic microorganisms, physical agents such as trauma or radiant energy (electricity, infrared, ultraviolet, roentgen, and radium rays), and chemical agents acting locally, acting internally after absorption, or placed into the wrong tissue. Some medicines cause necrosis if injected into the tissues rather than the vein, and some, such as iron dextran, cause necrosis if injected into areas other than deep muscle or vein.

Zenker necrosis See: Zenker, Friedrich Albert vonnecrosis The structural changes, such as those of GANGRENE, that follow death of a body tissue. The most obvious changes are in the cell nuclei which become shrunken and condensed (pyknosis) and no longer take a basic stain. Cell CYTOPLASM becomes more homogeneous and spaces (vacuoles) develop.necrosis the localized death of plant and animal tissue, such as the response of a leaf to invasion by a pathogen. An affected area is described as being ‘necrotic’. see DIPHTHERIA.NecrosisThe death of cells, a portion of tissue, or a portion of an organ due to permanent damage of some sort, such as a lack of oxygen supply to the tissues.Mentioned in: Anaerobic Infections, Angiography, Flesh-Eating Disease, Necrotizing EnterocolitisnecrosisDeath of some or all cells in an organ or tissue. The process involves swelling of the nucleus (pyknosis), fragmentation of the nucleus (karyorrhexis) and complete dissolution of the nuclear chromatin (karyolysis). Necrosis is caused by disease, trauma or interference with blood supply. There are many sequelae to ocular necrosis (e.g. inflammation, reduction in aqueous humour production following ciliary epithelium necrosis, corneal opacity following necrosis of corneal epithelial cells, and visual loss and floaters following retinal necrosis). See apoptosis; retinal necrosis.ne·cro·sis, pl. necroses (nĕ-krō'sis, -sēz) Pathologic death of one or more cells, or of a portion of tissue or organ, resulting from irreversible damage. [G. nekrōsis, death, fr. nekroō, to make dead]Patient discussion about necrosisQ. can necrosis in a brain tumor kill you? If so, how? husband has glioblastoma.Tumor seems under control at this point as much as they can tell but sounds like there is a lot of necrosis. He has lots of tumor progression symptoms but since he has had the tumor for so long == 6 years = I guess the necrosis is there moreso than the actual tumor == how dangerous can this be?A. Tumors and not only in the brain tend to develop necrosis the longer they exist because the tumor cells divide so rapidly so the blood supply can't keep up with its' own cells demands, so some cells within the tumor die (therefore are seen as necrotic). This does not usually predict prognosis, but only means that the tumor is longstanding.
