The Arthropathy of Hemochromatosis Without Hemochromatosis [PDF]
AbstractA 65‐year‐old man and his 62‐year‐old sister presented with joint pains and were found to have chondrocalcinosis. Both had elevations of serum iron and an increased saturation of iron binding protein. Biopsies revealed hemosiderin deposits in the parenchymal cells of the liver of both patients and the lining cells of the synovium of one ...
