We experienced a case of adult type Gaucher’s disease in a 2 year 9 month old female. The patient had hepatosplenomegaly with anemia and characteristic Gaucher cells in bone marrow aspiration and biopsy of liver and spleen. Diagnosis was confirmed by demonstration of β-glucosidase enzyme deficiency in circulating leukocytes. Partial splenectomy was followed by improvement of anemia and thrombocytopenia. A brief review of literature was done.
