Als kalter Abszess wird meist ein Abszess bezeichnet, der nicht durch die typischen pyogenen Bakterien sondern durch Tuberkulose bedingt ist. Er enthält in der Regel wenig Eiter, ist kaum schmerzhaft, nicht gerötet und nicht überwärmt, daher kalter Abszess. Auch bei chronisch-entzündlichen Darmerkrankungen wie dem Morbus Crohn können kalte Abszesse mit wenig akuten Symptomen entstehen.
