Core Tip Early diagnosis of lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D) is challenging owing to its nonspecific clinical presentation. We report a rare case diagnosed before the age of 4 years, with long-term follow-up after early initiation of enzyme replacement therapy. Our patient showed marked improvements in growth, liver function, and histology over 10 years, with no treatment-related adverse events. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and timely treatment of LAL-D to optimize long-term outcomes in affected children.
