title: Ichthyosis and neutral lipid storage disease (Dorfman-Chanarin syndrome).
abstract: Ichthyosis and neutral lipid storage disease (INLSD) is a nonlysosomal, multisystemic, triglyceride storage disorder. It is characterized by nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NBCIE), leukocyte vacuoles, and variable involvement of the liver, muscles, eyes, and central nervous system. In our patient fat-containing vacuoles were also demonstrated in the epidermis. In patients with NBCIE, the diagnosis of INLSD is readily made by direct examination of a peripheral blood smear demonstrating cytoplasmic lipid vacuoles within most granulocytes and monocytes.
