Partial splenectomy in Gaucher's disease.

Abstract
An 11-year-old boy with Gaucher's disease is described. He had giant splenomegaly with severe signs of hypersplenism. A partial splenectomy was performed. On an isotope scan at follow-up, the remaining spleen was functioning well. Normal levels of IgM were recorded and there were no signs of hypersplenism.
