xantomatosis familiar
Scope note: Forma infantil grave de enfermedades congénitas lisosómicas de almacenamiento de lípidos, producidas por déficit de lipasa ácida (ESTEROL ESTERASA). Se caracteriza por acumulación de lípidos neutros, particularmente ÉSTERES DE COLESTEROL, en leucocitos, fibroblastos y hepatocitos. También se conoce a esta patología como xantomatosis de Wolman, y es una variante alélica de la ENFERMEDAD POR ALMACENAMIENTO DE ÉSTERES DE COLESTEROL.

Scope note: The severe infantile form of inherited lysosomal lipid storage diseases due to deficiency of acid lipase (STEROL ESTERASE). It is characterized by the accumulation of neutral lipids, particularly CHOLESTEROL ESTERS in leukocytes, fibroblasts, and hepatocytes. It is also known as Wolman's xanthomatosis and is an allelic variant of CHOLESTEROL ESTER STORAGE DISEASE.
