    Abstract:
    We report two cases of Leprechaunism with the classical features. The first case had hyperglycemia and severe hyperinsulinemia. The postmortem examination of the second child revealed enlargement of both ovaries, islet cell hyperplasia in the pancreas, and cholestasis and paucity of bile ducts in the liver. Cystic changes were noted in the ovaries, and the kidneys contained a few small cortical cysts. Both patients died at early ages.
