Gaucher's disease and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Possible pathogenetic link between Gaucher's disease and B-cell proliferations?

Cancer. 1984 Jul 15;54(2):312-4. doi: 10.1002/1097-0142(19840715)54:2<312::aid-cncr2820540222>3.0.co;2-i.

Abstract

The authors report a case of Gaucher's disease with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The diagnosis of Gaucher's disease was confirmed by electron microscopy and glucocerebrosidase assay. There may be a pathogenetic link between Gaucher's disease and B-cell proliferation.
