Cholesteryl Ester Storage Disease
Oxford Medicine Online(2016)
Abstract
Cholesteryl ester storage disease is a very rare lysosomal storage disorder that may present in an attenuated form in adult patients. This clinical phenotype is clearly distinguished from the aggressive form of cholesteryl ester storage disease known as Wolman disease with rapidly progressive, often fatal disease within the first year of life. Most patients with an attenuated form present with “fatty liver” due to the accumulation of cholesterol esters and triglycerides. Most have splenomegaly as well. Enzyme replacement therapy has been recently developed. The natural course of very mild cases and the risk of developing liver failure are currently unknown.
