[Gaucher Disease type 1 mimicking immune thrombocytopenia: Role of hyperferritinemia and hypergammaglobulinemia in the initial evaluation of an isolated thrombopenia].

CONCLUSION: Gaucher disease type 1 can be responsible for apparently isolated thrombocytopenia. The disease must be looked for if the thrombocytopenia is associated with unexplained hypergammaglobulinemia or hyperferritinemia. Diagnosing immune thrombocytopenia without bone marrow sample requires to systematically pay attention to any clinical or biological abnormality, not to ignore rare differential diagnoses.
