There was a history of swelling and pain in the right ear and recurrent skin infections. On examination, she had a silvery gray hair, mottled pigmentation over the face and neck, perichondritis of right ear, impetiginous lesions over the lower limbs, hepatomegaly. Ophthalmological examination revealed partial oculocutaneous albinism and nystagmus. Routine blood investigations were within normal limits.

It was diagnosed as a case of Chediak–Higashi syndrome. This case is presented for its rarity.
