| haemosiderosis / haemochromatosis | <radiology> Iron deposition due to abnormal metabolism or iron overload, primary abnormal iron metabolism, secondary alcoholic cirrhosis, multiple blood transfusions (e.g., Hb SS, thalassaemia) Findings: osteoporosis, chondrocalcinosis (calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease), arthropathy, resembles calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease arthropathy, distinctive feature: BEAK-like osteophytes at MCP jts, mottled increased density of liver and spleen, Definitions: haemosiderosis: haemosiderin deposition within cells, haemochromatosis: haemosiderin within cells AND interstitium (12 Dec 1998) |
| pulmonary haemosiderosis | Haemosiderosis usually associated with mitral stenosis and marked by an accumulation of macrophages loaded with haemosiderin within the alveoli. (05 Mar 2000) |
