Routine histology of hares caught for ecological monitoring showed extracellular curvilamellar ceroid in a focal degeneration process of reserve adipose tissue in 19 animals. The defect was localized most frequently in parametrial adipose tissue, in mesovary, close to suprarenals and in spleen hilus. Discussion concerned an analogical process in men and other animal species and a possible role of vitamin E deficiency.
