Gaucher disease (GD) is the most common lysosomal storage disorder. Deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase results in the intracellular accumulation of undegraded substrates in the spleen, liver and bone marrow. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is a standard approach for type 1 GD. Here, we present an adult patient with hematological disorders due to type 1 GD, who markedly improved with ERT.
