Slide 124: Spleen with Amyloidosis

Just looking at this
slide, it's easy to understand how functionless it must have been.
I think it's easy to see the extensive parenchymal deposition of the amyloid
protein. That's what you're looking for.
See this slide with the
virtual microscope. |

Not much to add to the
picture. The amyloid material is diffusely spread throughout the splenic
parenchyma. You might want to compare this slide to a normal spleen to
see how involved it is. Take this time to consider all the places you can
see amyloid accumulate. What are the basic forms of amyloidosis? |
