  1. There are various uncommon causes of coagulative necrosis. Here are a few: - Toxoplasma-induced occlusive hypertrophic ateritis (don't ask me what that means, but it's the first link under sources) -granulomas caused by tuberculosis - Ingestive of concentrated acetic acid (specifically, it can cause coagulative necrosis of the liver) -certain fungal infections Or according to Encyclopedia Britannica (http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-22177): "Among the environmental perturbations that may cause cell necrosis are oxygen deprivation (anoxia), hyperthermia, immunological attack, and exposure to various toxins that inhibit crucial intracellular metabolic processes."
