Wikipedia
lipidosis
A lipid storage disorder (or lipidosis) is any one of a group of inherited metabolic disorders in which harmful amounts of fats or lipids accumulate in some body cells and tissues. People with these disorders either do not produce enough of one of the enzymes needed to metabolize and break down lipids or, they produce enzymes that do not work properly. Over time, the buildup of fats may cause permanent cellular and tissue damage, particularly in the brain, peripheral nervous system, liver, spleen, and bone marrow. Inside cells under normal conditions, lysosomes convert, or metabolize, lipids and proteins into smaller components to provide energy for the body.

lipidosis
Lipidosis refers to a disorder characterized by the abnormal accumulation of lipids (fats) within cells or tissues of the body. This could be due to an imbalance between the synthesis and elimination of lipids and may result in various health problems, depending on the area of lipid accumulation. Conditions like Niemann-Pick disease and Gaucher's disease are examples of lipidosis.
