The pattern of amyloid deposits in the femoral head is described in four cases, two of which had deposits of amyloid related to age and two of which had generalised systemic amyloidosis (one of primary amyloidosis, one of multiple myeloma). The deposition of amyloid in the articular cartilage of the femoral head was similar in all four cases. Heavy deposits of synovial amyloid were identified i...
