I-cell

I-cells also called inclusion cells are abnormal fibroblasts having a large number of dark inclusions in the cytoplasm of the cell (mainly in the central area). The inclusions are of various fats, proteins, carbohydrates, pigments and other insolubles. They are seen in mucolipidosis II,[1] also called inclusion-cell or I-cell disease.
