Gaucher's disease and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Possible pathogenetic link between Gaucher's disease and B-cell proliferations?
The authors report a case of Gaucher's disease with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The diagnosis of Gaucher's disease was confirmed by electron microscopy and glucocerebrosidase assay. There may be a pathogenetic link between Gaucher's disease and B-cell proliferation.
