Abstract
We report a case of thalassemia major in which severe cytoplasmic vacu olization was seen in white blood cells as well as in their precursors . Cytochemical examination of the vacuoles revealed Sudan Black staini ng. Consequently, we believe that our patient had Jordans' anomaly coe xisting with thalassemia major.
