A Rare Case of Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome Type 3
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a multi-system disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism and platelet storage deficiency, which can also lead to prolonged bleeding, pulmonary fibrosis, and granulomatous colitis. Lysosome-related organelle dysfunction is responsible for many of the systemic manifestations, including dense body and melanosome deficiency. This report aims to review a case of HPS type 3 in a male Puerto Rican patient who presented to our clinic.
