Ceroid-pigment is present in the smooth muscle fibers of the gastrointestinal tract of patients with cystic fibrosis of the pancreas. It is first seen during the second year of life. It is found in all patients of 5 years of age and older, and the amount increases with age. It has not been found in other pediatric conditions with the exception of biliary atresia and cirrhosis of the liver. Extensive ceroid deposit probably represents an expression of prolonged and severe vitamin-E deficiency, related to protracted malabsorption of fat-soluble tocopherols. Alterations of striated muscle appear to be rare and minimal in cystic fibrosis of the pancreas.
