Cutaneous manifestations of Gaucher disease.
We reviewed the cutaneous manifestations of type I non-neuropathic Gaucher disease in fifty South African patients. Characteristic changes such as diffuse pigmentation, easy tanning and flitting brown macules were found to be useful pointers to the diagnosis. Other cutaneous changes secondary to infiltration of the marrow and liver were common and important findings.
