Hepatosplenomegaly in a young child can be an ominous physical finding, potentially representing a metabolic, malignant, or infectious process. We present the case of a 5-month-old girl who had fever, hepatosplenomegaly, and hematologic abnormalities at the initial examination. This case demonstrates how a comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiologic characteristics of hepatosplenomegaly and a systematic and thorough workup can help ensure that important diagnoses are not overlooked.
