Introduction
Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) is an uncommon hematological condition reported primarily in Central and Western Europe and North Africa [1-3]. The hallmark of the disease is ineffective erythropoiesis as the main feature, and there are distinct morphological abnormalities of the bone marrow’s erythroblasts. Therefore, it should be considered in any patient with chronic anemia. It is divided into three categories (CDA I, CDA II, and CDA III), with the most common type II and CDA III, whose nonfamilial type is the rarest. A majority of CDA cases are autosomal recessive in nature [4]. In our case, we showed the way we used to reach our diagnosis and that the typical morphological appearance of bone marrow erythroblasts is considered the cornerstone of the diagnosis. Still, a blood smear might give us a hint.
