Abstract
We report on two young patients with Niemann-Pick disease type B presenting with severe hepatic disease. Both children developed cirrhosis and died of intrahepatic block and mechanical hemolysis. Autopsy findings revealed complete obstruction of the sinusoids by lipid-laden Kupffer's cells. These two cases illustrate a new hepatic lesion of Niemann-Pick disease.Entities:
