Prognosis dependent on subtype

Gaucher disease is the most common lysosomal storage disease.[1] Despite being the most common in its grouping, it is still quite rare.

Like most storage disorders, it is inherited autosomal recessive; thus, it is seen more commonly in families where people marry their cousins.

General

Pathology:

  • Accumulation of glucocerebroside in monocytes/macrophages due to deficiency of glucocerebrosidase.[2]
  • Defect in acid beta-glucosidase gene (GBA gene).[3][4][5]

Subtypes

  • There are several types - all are autosomal recessive.[2]

Types:[6]

  • Type I: 99% of cases; no CNS involvement - survive to adulthood.
  • Type II: infantile onset - CNS degeneration + death at young age.
  • Type III: mixed of type I & type II.

Clinical

  • Pancytopenia - due to marrow replacement.
  • Hepatosplenomegaly (type I).

Microscopic

Features:[7][6]

  • Mononuclear phagocytes with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm with subtle irregular lines (~0.5 micrometers in width).
    • Known as "crumpled tissue paper cells" / "crumpled tissue paper cytoplasm."[8]

Notes:

  • Crumpled tissue paper: crumpled tissue paper - image (123rf.com).
  • The textbook case may look crumpled... along with some mind altering drugs.
    • The typical case is:
      • Abundant macrophages with cytoplasm filled by very small (clear) vacuoles (~0.2-0.4 micrometres).

Images

  • Gaucher disease - intermed. mag. (WC)

  • Gaucher disease - high mag. (WC)

  • Gaucher disease - with fine vesicular cytoplasm - very high mag. (WC)

Stains

  • Material in "crumpled tissue paper cells": PAS +ve.[6]
