Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency, abbreviated as LAL-D, is a lysosomal storage disorder that is inherited autosomal recessive.[1]
It is also known as Wolman disease.
General
- Diagnosis clinical: dried blood spot testing.
Serology:
- High LDL.
- Low HDL.
Treatment:
- Sebelipase alfa - a replacement enzyme.[2]
Gross
Microscopic
Liver
Features:
- Microvesicular or mixed steatosis (microvesicular and macrovesicular).
- +/-Cholesterol clefts.
Notes:
- Usually microvesicular predominant.
- Portal fibrosis is more typical than central fibrosis usually seen in NASH.
DDx:
Small bowel
Features:
- Lipid accumulation - similar to Whipple's disease.[citation needed][3]
