Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare disease characterized by anemia, hemoptysis and recurrent alveolar hemorrhage. The combination of IPH and celiac disease (CD) is extremely rare. We report a 9‐year‐old boy with Lane‐Hamilton syndrome, co‐occurrence of pulmonary hemosiderosis with CD. This presentation is unique presentation because he has also retinal pigmentation. Pediatr. Pulmonol. 2011; 46:820–823. © 2011 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
