Gaucher's disease is an uncommon condition, especially among those not of the Jewish race. A case of Gaucher's disease in a white, non‐Jewish female aged 82 years is described. Bone changes were apparent on radiological examination, and the liver, spleen, and bone marrow were infiltrated by Gaucher cells. The relevant literature is reviewed.
