[Ultrasound echogenic splenic tumors: nodular manifestation of type C Niemann-Pick disease].

E Fröhlich1, K Harzer, T Heller, U Rühl.   

Abstract

A female patient is described with highly echogenic splenic nodes found in routine diagnosis. After CT and angiography a splenectomy was carried out. The histological finding of sea blue histiocytes and the extended family history suggested a subtype of Niemann-Pick disease. Biochemical lipid analysis of the spleen confirmed Type-C Niemann-Pick disease. Niemann-Pick disease and its subtypes are discussed briefly.
