Niemann-Pick disease type B: clinical signs and follow-up of a new case.
A girl affected by Niemann-Pick disease type B is reported. The patient presented unusual skin lesions of nummular eczematous dermatitis, signs of delayed puberty and stunted physical development, together with the typical symptoms involving visceral organs and lungs. This disease may therefore indirectly affect more body organs than assumed.
