Lymph node excision as a simple diagnostic aid in rare lipidoses

H Debuch et al. Eur J Pediatr. .

Abstract

Autopsy material from a case of Niemann-Pick disease was subjected to lipid analysis. Among the six tissues investigated, lymph nodes exhibited the greatest storage of several lipids. Since lymph nodes are relatively easy to obtain by biopsy, they may be utilized for chemical diagnosis of this type of lipidosis.
