What Wikipedia says

Caseous necrosis or caseous degeneration () is a unique form of cell death in which the tissue maintains a cheese-like appearance, appearing as a soft and white proteinaceous dead cell mass. The dead tissue is enclosed within a granuloma, and differs from coagulative necrosis in that tissue structure is destroyed.
