In this study, we aim to classify LSDs into two broad categories, namely, Gaucher disease (GD) and Niemann\u2013Pick\/Niemann\u2013Pick-like diseases (NP\/NP-like diseases) based on the morphology of the storage cells in the bone marrow (BM) aspiration smears and trephine biopsy sections.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective study includes 32 BM specimens morphologically diagnosed as LSDs at our institute, in the last 10 years. Subsequently, they were subclassified into GD and NP\/NP-like diseases. Further, we have compared and analyzed the clinical, hematological, and biochemical parameters for the two groups of LSDs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Based on BM morphology, 59.4% (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 19) cases were diagnosed as NP\/NP-like diseases and 40.6% (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 13) cases as GD. Abdominal distension and failure to thrive were the most common clinical manifestations in both groups of LSDs. Anemia and thrombocytopenia were frequently seen in either of the LSDs. On the assessment of metabolic profile, elevated total\/direct bilirubin and liver enzymes were more commonly seen in NP\/NP-like diseases when compared with GD.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We have classified LSDs into GD and NP\/NP-like diseases based on the morphology of the storage cells in the BM specimen. The hallmark findings on BM biopsy annexed with the comparative features of the two proposed categories can aid the clinician in clinching the diagnosis.
