Abstract
The starch granulomatous syndrome is a recognized clinical entity. Yet, surgeons encountering this syndrome have difficulties diagnosing it correctly. This difficulty may be related to its sporadic appearance, unknown pathophysiology and lack of specific tests that would make a correct diagnosis. Following our recent experience we describe this syndrome in five patients. A summary of the clinical, laboratory, surgical and histological findings is given.
