ABSTRACT
The initial symptoms of Fabry's
disease (FD) may seem harmless and may delay its diagnosis. A survey
and screening for FD were performed on men with biopsy-proven
angiokeratoma and some of their relatives (n = 29). Three patients were
identified. Dermatologists should be aware of this prominent early
feature and investigate unexplained cutaneous vascular lesions to
detect FD.
