title: MR demonstration of intraosseous beta-2-microglobulin amyloidosis.
abstract: We present a case of intraosseous beta-2-microglobulin amyloidosis of a patient receiving long-term hemodialysis. Magnetic resonance imaging clearly demonstrated intraosseous amyloid deposits as hypointense masses in the femoral head.
