title: [Splenic artery aneurysm in a patient with Gaucher's disease].
abstract: We present a 31-year-old woman suffering from Gaucher's disease in whom during splenectomy a big splenic artery aneurysm was found, 5 x 3.5 cm in diameters; it was due to hypersplenism and compression of the enlarged spleen. In a huge spleen 43 cm in length and 5420 grams in weight, many deposits of glycocerebrosides were found. Cholecystectomy was also carried out for calculous cholecystitis. The recovery was uneventful and the patient stayed in good condition.
