Summary A case of constitutional hyperbilirubinemia with mild elevations of un-conjugated bilirubin in the serum was reported which was further characterized by an accumulation of pigment granules in the liver cells of the Dubin-Johnson-Sprinz-Nelson type. Electron-microscopic studies demonstrated predominantly lipofuscin-like pigments in the liver cells. The pathogenesis of this condition and the chemical nature of these pigments were briefly discussed. Attention was called to a variant of the Gilbert-Meulengracht syndrome.
