Abstract
Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) type 2 is a rare genetic disease that presents with mild to severe anemia. The rare occurrence may be a reason why CDAs are often misdiagnosed since the morphological abnormalities and the clinical features are commonly found in other clinically-related anemias. We report a case of a 17-year-old male who presented in a tertiary care government hospital, with a history of lethargy, abdominal pain, abdominal fullness, and failure to thrive. Bone marrow biopsy reported the uncommon diagnosis of CDA type 2, the Ham test was also positive. The management included a multi-disciplinary approach alongside counseling of the family.
