Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome is a rare, inherited, autosomal recessive disease. Diagnosis is based on a triad of signs: oculocutaneous albinism, a hemorrhagic tendency due to a

We describe a child with the characteristic findings of this syndrome, which often goes unrecognized because of the discrete nature of the cutaneous and hemorrhagic manifestations. This diagnosis is important because of the risk not only of hemorrhage but also of granulomatous colitis and long-term
pulmonary fibrosis
.
