Structural Similarities between Hematoidin Crystals and Asteroid Bodies: Evidence of Lipid Composition

Hematoidin crystals (HC) are found in tissues where extravasated erythrocytes undergo degradation. Previous studies have determined that hematoidin is composed, in part, of a bilirubin-like pigment. In a previous study (Papadimitriou and Drachenberg, Ultrastruct. Pathol.16, 413–421, 1992), we demons...
