Steatonecrosis (adipose tissue necrosis) in a cow. The necrotic adipocytes house opaque homogenously pink material. A foreign body-like inflammatory response with giant multinucleated cells surrounds the necrotic areas (H&E, 40x). On the right, note how the giant multinucleated cells surround the necrotic adipocytes (H&E, 100x).
