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.Entities:
