Abstract

A patient with chronic adult-onset Gaucher's disease is described. The diagnosis was based on the finding of typical Gaucher cells in the spleen, liver and bone marrow associated with deficiency of glucocerebrosidase. The patient also had Hodgkin's disease, nodular sclerosis type, stage III. The patient is alive and relatively well six years after presentation, having been treated with a combination of chemotherapeutic regimens.

Previously reported cases of Gaucher's disease concurrent with Hodgkin's disease are reviewed.
