  • Title: Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome: clinical features of a rare lipid metabolism disorder.
    Author: Selimoglu MA, Esrefoglu M, Gul M, Gungor S, Yildirim C, Seyhan M.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2009; 26(1):40-3. PubMed ID: 19250403.
    Abstract:
    Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome (CDS) is a very rare neutral lipid metabolism disorder with multisystem involvement. In order to not underdiagnose the cases, screening of lipid vacuoles in neutrophils from peripheral blood smears in patients with ichthyosiform erythroderma is needed. Few case reports revealing ultrastructural findings of skin and especially liver in that disorder were observed. Here we discuss clinical and electron microscopic findings of two siblings with CDS.
