Skin necrosis is the pathologic death of one or more cells, or of a portion of tissue or organ, resulting from irreversible damage; earliest irreversible changesare mitochondrial, consisting of swelling and granular calcium deposits seen by electron microscopy; most frequent visible alterationsare nuclear: pyknosis, shrunken and abnormally dark basophilic staining; karyolysis, swollen and abnormally pale basophilic staining;or karyorrhexis, rupture, and fragmentation of the nucleus. After such changes, the outlines of individual cells are indistinct, andaffected cells may merge, sometimes forming a focus of coarsely granular, amorphous, or hyaline material.
