Nöropatiyle beraber olmayan Gaucher hastalığı (Tip-I) kendini hepatosplenomegali, anemi, trombositopeni ve kemik tutulumuyla gösterir.

Gallstone associated with Gaucher disease: A case report

Gaucher disease is an inherited disorder of sphingolipid metabolism caused by deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase. Type 1 Gaucher disease is characterized by hepatosplenomegaly, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and bone involvement. Cholelithiasis has been observed among patients with type 1 Gaucher disease with variable frequency. We present a patient with anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, cholelithiasis, choledocholithiasis, and acute biliary pancreatitis.
