Abstract
Vacuolization of the renal tubular epithelial cells (the Armanni-Ebstein le sion) associated with diabetic hyperglycemia is usually regarded as an accu mulation of glycogen. In a case of death of diabetic coma, the vacuoles wer e stained strongly for lipids. This observation may have both clinical and therapeutic consequences, and may increase our knowledge of the metabolism in diabetes.
