ABSTRACT
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by
oculocutaneous albinism, platelet dysfunction associated with hemorrhage, and
lysosomal storage defects; that in some individuals produces pulmonary fibrosis,
granulomatous colitis, renal alterations or immunodeficiency. This paper reports the
case of a female adolescent, with a history of repetitive hospitalizations for epistaxis
and rectal bleeding. In the last hospitalization, she was admitted with a more intense
clinical picture with pain and abdominal distension, rectorrhagia and lipothymia;
requiring transfusional and antifibrinolytic therapy. Physical examination emphasized
oculocutaneous albinism, without ecchymotic lesions or bruises. In 2016 patient was
diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis treated with bronchodilators. The initial clinical
manifestation of oculocutaneous albinism and hemorrhagic diathesis is fundamental
for the suspicion of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, which must be confirmed by
the absence of delta granules in the platelets through electron microscopy. Despite
knowledge of genetic defects, there are currently no definitive therapeutic or preventive
approaches for pulmonary fibrosis with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome other than
lung transplantation.
