title: Synovial fluid leukocytosis associated with intracellular lipid inclusions.
abstract: A unique case of an inflammatory monoarthritis associated with intracellular lipid inclusions in synovial fluid leukocytes is described. In contrast to previous reports, these lipid inclusions were uniformly intracellar, not associated with articular destruction, and not visible under ordinary light but readily seen under polarized light microscopy.
