| Abstract: | Gaucher disease (GD) is a lysosomal storage disease characterized by deficiency of β‐glucocerebrosidase, which results in accumulation of glucocerebroside in reticuloendothelial system, bone marrow infiltration, progressive hepatosplenomegaly, and skeletal complications. Herein we report a 5‐year‐old female with GD receiving enzyme replacement therapy who had giant mesenteric lymphadenopathies. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2009;52:870–871. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. |
