This higher-power photomicrograph of lung demonstrates the edge of the abscess. Note the loss of material from the center of the abscess (1) and loose necrotic material that has not been expelled (2). This material is made up of inflammatory cells (primarily dead white blood cells) and necrotic lung tissue.
An abscess is a collection of pus (white blood cells) within a cavity formed by disintegrated tissue.
