caseation

The process of tissue becoming cheese-like in appearance.
Noun

Caseation is a technical medical term used almost exclusively in pathology and clinical medicine. It describes a specific form of necrosis where the dead tissue maintains a crumbly, white, cheese-like appearance rather than liquefying. Because of this highly specific morphology, the term is most frequently encountered in discussions regarding tuberculosis (TB) and certain fungal infections.

In a clinical setting, this word is used in formal reports, academic journals, and during professional consultations between physicians or pathologists. It is not a word used in casual conversation with patients; a doctor would instead describe the area as "dead tissue" or "damaged tissue" to avoid overly technical jargon.

It is distinct from "liquefactive necrosis," where tissue turns into a liquid viscous mass. Caseation implies a dry, granular texture, which is the key diagnostic feature that allows pathologists to identify specific types of granulomatous inflammation.
