We describe a phytosterolemia patient whose clinical manifestations were macrothrombocytopenia, stomatocytic hemolysis and splenomegaly, without the common features of this disorder.
Our results suggest that blood cells could be a target for the toxic effect of plasma plant sterols, which should be measured in patients with unexplained stomatocytosis and/or macrothrombocytopenia in order to determine if they have phytosterolemia.
