A case of gaucher disease with a rare complication of gaucheroma and protein-losing enteropathy

This case report describes a patient initially diagnosed with Gaucher disease (GD) with type I with homozygous mutation c.1448T > C p. (Leu483Pro) at age of 2, presenting with hepatosplenomegaly and cytopenia. Imiglucerase replacement therapy was initiated. At age 17, bilateral hearing loss developed, with subsequent Cranial MRI revealing thalamic damage, leading to a reclassification as type 3 GD. By age of 20, the patient presented with a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, hypoproteinemia, multiple lymphadenopathy, edema, and Gaucher cell infiltration in the lymph nodes. Comprehensive diagnosis identifies Gaucher tumor and protein-losing enteropathy. Imiglucerase therapy at 90‐120 U/kg every 2 weeks significantly improved clinical symptoms, emphasizing the importance of tailored interventions for managing GD manifestations.
