  ABSTRACT: Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) refers to a group of patients who have varying degrees of lipid storage and foam cell infiltration in tissues, as well as overlapping clinical features, including hepatosplenomegaly, insufficiency pulmonary and/or central nervous system (CNS). Thanks to the pioneering work of Roscoe Brady and colleagues, we now know that there are two distinct metabolic abnormalities that explain NPD. The first is due to the deficient activity of the acid sphingomyelinase enzyme (ASM; NPD “types A and B”), and the second is due to defective functioning in the transport of cholesterol (NPD “type C”). We report the case of a 13-year-old adolescent diagnosed with Niemann-Pick A/B disease.
