Unexcreted particles may be phagocytized by cells of the reticuloendothelial system and deposited in
storage sites in the liver, spleen, lung, and bone marrow resulting in the storage disease thesaurosis.
Severity and symptoms depend on storage site and nature of the particle. Pathological changes are not
necessarily attributed to the thesaurosis, but in some cases an inflammation or granulomatoma have
occurred.
