A 27-year-old woman not only had the usual clinical and laboratory features of the adult form of Gaucher's disease but also had typical pingueculae and a peculiar lesion with a pigmented temporal edge in the fundus of her left eye. Bone-marrow aspiration demonstrated infiltration by Gaucher's cells and a biopsy of the conjuctival masses disclosed areas of infiltration by Gaucher's cell beneath normal epithelium.
