Gaucher's disease. Plain radiography, US, CT and MR diagnosis of lungs, bone and liver lesions

Pediatr Radiol. 1992;22(1):78-9. doi: 10.1007/BF02011620.

Abstract

We report our observations made by conventional radiography, ultrasound, computerized tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on a 3 1/2-year-old girl with Gaucher's disease. The interest of the case consists in the exceptional lungs involvement, the demonstration by MRI of the bone marrow involvement and the necrosis and fibrosis of the liver, as shown by CT. This liver complication has been previously reported only once.
