Abstract
A 9-year-old boy of Greek-Cypriot origin had been diagnosed at the age of 3 years as suffering from non-bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma. However, he also had hepatomegaly and abnormal liver function tests, biochemical evidence of myopathy, early cataracts, and lipid vacuoles in white blood cells and basal keratinocytes. A diagnosis of neutral lipid (triglyceride) storage disease was confirmed by lipid studies on cultured fibroblasts.
