Testicular fibrosis and cardiomegaly in Shwachman's syndrome.
Shwachman's syndrome is an uncommon disorder; its principal manifestations are pancreatic and hematopoietic insufficiency. We report here a case of Shwachman's syndrome with autopsy findings of cardiomegaly (anticipated from clinical observations) and unexpected testicular fibrosis, both examined by electron microscopy.
