title: [Adult-type Gaucher's disease: an histochemical study of one case (author's transl)].
abstract: Spleen of adult-type Gaucher's disease has been investigated by histochemical technics. As usually, an overload of cerebroside (revealed by the PAS reaction for glycolipids) with beta-glucosidase deficiency has been demonstrated. But many particularities must be emphasized in this case: increase of acid MPS, high activities of pentose pathway--and glycolysis enzymes in the overload cells.
