In the usual Krull-Schmidt-Azumaya theorem in abelian categories it is essential that each of the direct summands has a local ring of endomorphisms. A partial answer is given here to the case where this last condition is not satisfied by the indecomposable direct summands. It is found that those summands with local endomorphism rings are determined up to isomorphism and cardinality of occurrence.
