Improved detection of amyloid in fat pad aspiration: An evaluation of Congo red stain by fluorescent microscopy

Amyloid fat pad aspiration specimens for cases with a clinical suspicion of amyloid typically are stained with Congo red and examined by brightfield microscopy. Congophilia with apple‐green birefringence by polarization microscopy (PM) is considered diagnostic for amyloid. Examination of Congo red‐s...
