GuisoN CARVALHO AND JosE DONATO PRO5PERO T HIS IS A report of a girl who exhibited a rare type of alteration in the granulation pattern of the white cells from the peripheral blood, bone marrow and spleen, similar to that described by B#{233}guez C#{233}sar ( 1943),’ Steinbrinck ( 1948 ) ,2 Chediak ( 1952 ),3 Botur#{227}o ( 1953), Higashi ( 1954 ),5 Donohue and Bain ( 1957 ),#{176}and Maggi et al. ( 1957) . Efrati and Jonas ( 1958 ) 8 observed a case showing in addition to the leukocytic anomaly, a leukemic blood picture. The descriptive name “anomalous panleukocytic granulation” is adopted in this paper to mean that atypical granules were found in every class of leukocyte, although these granules were not identical in their morphology and nature.
