title: Niemann Pick c or storage by excessive blood cell destruction: a case presenting a diagnosis problem.
abstract: A case of storage disease followed up during 12 a was studied by morphological, histochemical, immunological, and biochemical techniques. Data were analysed in an attempt to differentiate an acquired storage by excessive cell degradation from a storage of genetic origin. If, as it is our belief, a conclusion of acquired storage can be made, this observation in which the same cholesterol metabolism abnormalities as in Niemann Pick type C were seen, leads to a rediscussion of their diagnostic significance.
