Among the primary disturbances Rowland considered essential xanthomatosis, with involvement of skin, mucous membranes, tendon sheaths, or viscera; Niemann-Pick disease; Schüller-Christian disease, and Gaucher's disease. As Rowland said, there are cases that defy classification.The group under present consideration is that which Pick described as the residual group, Rowland as essential xanthomatosis. There is in this group no characteristic age, sex, or racial distribution. The clinical manifestations are extremely varied. There are a number of cutaneous types, varying...Bibliography ADLERLEMMEL AH: Zur feineren Diagnostik der Leberkrankheiten. I. Cholesterin und Cholesterin-Ester im Blut Leberkranker, Deutsch.
