(CSF 31000).
Macrophage containing hemosiderin. Gold intracellular crystals composed of bilirubin.
Hematoidin is the result of the catabolism of
hemoglobin and may be present for several weeks
after CNS hemorrhage.
NOTE: Macrophages may display the presence of a
variety of particles within one cell. For example,
one macrophage may contain hemosiderin and
hematoidin.
