ABSTRACT

Fabry disease is a X-linked lysosomal storage disorder due to alpha galactoisidase A deficiency leading to abnormal accumulation of glycosphingolipids in different parts of body. This case report introduces a 35-year-old man with diffuse keratotic erythematous papules. Histopathological evaluation of the skin biopsy suggested the diagnosis of angiokeratoma.
