What type of necrosis is pancreatitis (due to the trypsin/phosplipases destroying the pancreas itself)?? it was a question on a NBME, and i was confused between fat, coagulative, caseous,etc?

it will be liquefactive i think..as there is enzymatic destruction....
hmm....our books says liquefactive only occurs in BRAIN....but it occurs in wet gangrene too.....
ya thats wut i was confused about i thought the pancreatitis itself is due to liquiefactive necrosis (due to neutrophil/macrophage releasing enzymes) and then the peripheral fat next to the pancreas was fat necrosis (due to the release of lipases from the necrotic pancreas)
yep thats what pathoma says exactly but go with fat necrosis b/c thats what the boards what u to know..im saying after doing all of uworld and nbmes.
