Abstract
We report the case of a 50-year-old female patient, with no family history of sickle cell disease, presenting with an anemic syndrome associated with back pain. Biological and morphological examinations revealed a pseudo-thrombotic microangiopathy and diffuse osteosclerotic osteopathy. The diagnosis of composite heterozygous sickle cell disease S/C was confirmed by hemoglobin electrophoresis. This case highlights an atypical clinical presentation of sickle cell disease, emphasizing the importance of a thorough differential diagnosis.
