Abstract
Background: Alstrom's disease is a rare hereditary multiple-system illness, whereas a second-messenger defect can be assumed. Case Report: We describe a case - the first in Germany of 15 known cases in the world literature -, who suffers from all clinical features, such as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, retinitis pigmentosa, pancochlear damage of the ears, hypogonadism, obesity and chronic nephropathy, with the exception of acanthosis nigricans. Conclusion: Because of the multiplicity of affected organs the diagnosis of Alstrom's disease is difficult.
