Abstract:
Seventeen of 55 children and adolescents with Gaucher's disease presented with upper limb pain. Seven had nonspecific pain, 11 had bone crisis, and 2 had arthritis symptoms in the proximal interphalangeal joints. X-ray films of both hands showed osteopenia and thinning of the cortex in half of the patients.
