In 1971, a study of 66 synovial biopsy samples indicated that the presence of
ferric deposits in the subintimal synovial tissue was of real semiological
value in the diagnosis of rheumatoid synovitis. In 1975, a study of 228
synovial biopsy samples led the authors to reconsider this finding: the
presence of ferric deposits in the subintimal synovial tissue was far from
being a constant feature in rheumatoid synovitis and it was seen with similar
frequency in other forms of chronic inflammatory rheumatism and also in several
other joint conditions. The origin of the synovial iron and the influence it
may have on the development of the rheumatoid processes remain obscure.
