Abstract
The author presents 2 cases of a syndrome characterized by an infantile acromegaloid gigantism, great muscular masses, hepatosplenomegaly, cirrhosis and fatty infiltration of the liver, hyperlipemia with a milky blood serum, hyperproteinemia, and disturbances of the carbohydrate metabolism. It was impossible to arrive at a correct diagnosis. All syndromes having some features in common with these cases were excluded. Possibly there is some relationship to pituitary hyperfunction.
