title: Jordans' anomaly.
abstract: A case of Jordans' Anomaly of leucocytes is reported in a young boy with congenital ichthyosis and hepatosplenomegaly. Cytoplasmic vacuoles were seen in granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes of the patient and his father. Serum triglyceride was found elevated in the child but not in the father. Ultrasonogram of the patient's liver showed features suggestive of fatty change, thus pointing to a possible abnormality of systemic triglyceride storage.
