Hemosiderin is an iron-containing pigment derived in humans from ferritin. It can be found in macrophages in small amounts throughout a number of different tissues including the bone marrow, liver and the spleen as a normal way to store iron. Under certain conditions it can pathologically accumulate in excess amounts. In hemosiderosis macrophages are hemosiderin-laden but without associated damage to surrounding tissue. When there more extensive accumulation occurs, it can lead to surrounding tissue damage, scarring and organ dysfunction. This is called hemochromatosis.
