Deskripsi

Abstract Recognizing Gaucher disease in elderly patients can be challenging. We present a Gaucher disease type 1 case diagnosed in an elderly patient with thrombocytopenia and lung adenocarcinoma. The diagnosis of Gaucher disease was delayed due to lack of familiarity about Gaucher Disease type 1 which can manifest in adulthood.
