[Congophilic (amyloid) deposits in the bursa tendinis calcanei].
Eosinophilic deposits in the bursa tendinis calcanei were identified as congophilic material. It was shown that the incidence of these depositions increased with age and it is concluded that the bursal wall is prone to senile amyloidosis, like other articular tissues.
