The Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome is a form of oculocutaneous albinism, characterized by a qualitative platelet defect and deposition of ceroid-like material throughout the RES. During a 16-mo. period, 5 patients with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome presented with symptoms, chest films and pulmonary function studies consistent with restrictive pulmonary disease. In 2 patients, lung biopsies revealed diffuse interstitial fibrosis. Light microscopy and EM demonstrated ceroid-like material within alveolar macrophages. Two patients presented with inflammatory bowel disease with deposition of ceroid-like material in the colon. This disorder may be more common than currently recognized and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of diffuse interstitial pulmonary disease and inflammatory bowel disease. A relationship between the deposition of ceroid-like material and pulmonary fibrosis is discussed in light of recent research concerning inflammatory processes. In view of the serious pulmonary, gastrointestinal and hematologic consequences of this syndrome, there is a need for genetic counseling of these patients.
