image: These are award-winning images from the 2001 American
College of Rheumatology slide contest. Clinical appearance and photomicrographs
demonstrating amyloidosis in a 76-year old female with abrupt onset
of bilateral shoulder pain. A Congo red stain of the synovial fluid
shows green birefringent material consistent with amyloid. The transmission
electron micrograph demonstrates filamentous fibrils (arrows), also
typical of amyloid.
