Abstract
Two young Jamaican women of Chinese idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura were found to have lipid-laden histiocytes in their spleens; their condition has improved following splenectomy. The electron microscopic appearances ofspleens suggest that platelet destruction contributed to the accumulation of lipid.Keywords
