Griscelli syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by partial albinism of the skin and hair shaft. Prompt and early diagnosis is a crucial step for the follow up and management of GS, which would otherwise dramatically decrease the life expectancy of the patients. This case report presents the clinical course of a femoral fracture treated with closed reduction and pelvic-pedal cast, and progression of acute phase reaction during the follow up period.
