Rare cause of huge splenomegaly: Gaucher’s Disease- 2 cases

Abstract

Often patients with splenomegaly present as diagnostic challenge to the clinicians. Even extensive laboratory investigations fail to yield the diagnosis. In 1908 Williams Osler correctly stated “all diseases of the spleen are of secondary in natureâ€. Here we outline two such cases of huge splenomegaly. They were diagnosed as Gaucher’s disease only after bone marrow study.
