gangrenous necrosis
Gangrenous necrosis is not a distinctive pattern of cell death, the term is still commonly used in surgical clinical practice.
It is usually applied to a limb, generally the lower leg, that has lost its blood supply and has undergone coagulative necrosis.
When bacterial infection is superimposed, coagulative necrosis is modified by the liquefactive action of the bacteria and the attracted leukocytes (so-called wet gangrene).
