ABSTRACT
Gaucher disease is the most common disease of the lysosomal storage diseases group comprised within innate errors of metabolism. There is glucocerebrosides accumulation in different organs and as a consequence, the development of symptoms and multisystemic signs that are established in a chronic and progressive way, such as: visceromegaly, bone destruction and peripheral cytopenias. A 43-years-old male patient is presented with a diagnosis of this disease since childhood, who developed giant splenomegaly with hypersplenism, for which he required splenectomy, obtaining good results with surgical treatment.REFERENCES
