Abstract
Inherited macrothrombocytopenia is a subgroup of thrombocytopenias, and is characterised by the presence of giant platelets and decreased platelet count with variable bleeding manifestations. Bengal macrothrombocytopenia is a newly described entity, previously called asymptomatic constitutional macrothrombocytopenia (ACMT), presented with variable bleeding tendencies; with mild to severe thrombocytopenia and macro-platelets in their peripheral blood smear and it is not totally an innocuous condition as described previously.
