Abstract
Two unrelated cases of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) are described. They show striking similarities which could not be attributed to one of the well-known types of CDA or any other congenital disease of the erythroid system. Both patients were followed for many years before and after splenectomy. There was a long-lasting, prominent post-splenectomy erythroblastosis, suggesting impairment of red cell denucleation. The type of heredity is unknown, and the enzymatic or molecular basis of the changes observed is not understood.
