Abstract
Three cases of nuclear glycogenosis in the liver of diabetic patients have been studied by electron microscopy. In addition to the glycogen deposits described by others, an unusual intranuclear glycogen-filled body was found in all three cases. This body occurred alone or in close contact with the major glycogen deposit.
