脂质蓄积的隐性负担:尼曼-匹克病的一例临床病例

Abstract

We showcase a 29-year-old man who had been previously diagnosed with hypertriglyceridemia. He presented with vague symptoms of generalized weakness, headache, and a feeling of hotness. Investigations revealed the presence of pancytopenia and hepatosplenomegaly, which led to further workup. The cause was identified as a rare, underrecognized diagnosis of Niemann-Pick disease, a lipid storage disorder. This case elucidates the importance of thoroughly looking into signs and symptoms to reach a diagnosis and the need to recognize inherited metabolic disorders as part of unique clinical presentations, which will lead to overall better patient care and outcomes.
