Abstract
Chlorphentermine, known as an anoretic drug, has been reported by Franken and associates to induce the formation of foamy cells in the lungs of rats (1). Subsequently, several investigators have described cytoplasmic inclusion bodies in the viscera (2–9) which are considered to be the experimental counterpart of human lipidosis.
