Abstract
The hematologist is at the forefront of specialists to whom patients with Gaucher disease present
because of cytopenia and hepatosplenomegaly. Usually, patients with such symptoms have undergone trephine
biopsy. We present the cases of two patients in whom Gaucher disease was suspected because of the discovery of
Gaucher cells in trephine biopsy, and subsequently confirmed via enzymatic and molecular investigations.
