Spontaneous decrease of spleen size in a patient with type 1 Gaucher's disease.
We present a patient with type 1 Gaucher's disease in whom the spleen size during 34 years of follow-up reached a maximum of 6 cm. below the costal margin, but in 1993 began to decrease spontaneously and presently can no longer be felt by abdominal palpation.
