Eiteransammlung in einer nicht präformierten Körperhöhle
An abscess is a pocket of pus that forms in your body tissue, usually because of a bacterial infection, and typically causes redness, pain, warmth, and swelling in the affected area. They matter because they can occur anywhere in the body—including on your skin or inside your organs—and require proper medical attention to prevent complications.

Ein Abszess ist eine Eiteransammlung (früher auch Apostem genannt) in einer nicht präformierten Körperhöhle, die durch entzündliche Gewebseinschmelzung entsteht. Die Einschmelzung des Gewebes wird als Abszedierung bezeichnet (im Falle einer Lungentuberkulose auch als „Kavernisierung“). Als hämorrhagischer Abszess wird ein bluthaltiger Eiterherd bezeichnet. Der subphrenische Abszess (unter dem Zwerchfell gelegen), der perityphlitische Abszess (neben dem Wurmfortsatz gelegen) und der Douglasabszess sind pathologisch gesehen (im Gegensatz zu intraabdominellen Abszessen) keine Abszesse, sondern abgekapselte Empyeme in der Bauchhöhle.
