Answer:

Dry gangrene

Step-by-step explanation:

Dry gangrene occurs when blood supply to tissues gradually stops. The affected part becomes dry, shrinks and turns brownish to black (like a mummy). The line of separation is formed between the gangrenous part and the viable part of the tissue. The gangrenous part consists of inflammatory granulation tissue. It occurs mainly in diabetic patients or people suffering from arterial blood vessel diseases.
