Wilson's disease is characterized by copper accumulation in organs like liver, brain, and eyes, presenting with a varied clinical features, making it challenging to diagnose. This report describes a case of Wilson’s disease with unusual hematological features. A 12-year-old from Himalayan region presented with weakness, dysarthria, tremors. Initial investigations revealed pancytopenia, and bone marrow showed a lymphoproliferative disorder. He developed behavioral changes, a flat affect, and scanning speech. Wilson’s disease was confirmed through Kayser-Fleischer rings, reduced serum ceruloplasmin levels, and elevated urinary copper, supported by imaging.
