Fabry disease (angiokeratoma corporis diffusum universale) is a rare, progressive, X-linked lysosomal storage disease. Deficiency of the α-galactosidase A (α-gal A) enzyme leads to accumulation of neutral glycosphingolipids within vascular endothelial lysosomes of various organs, including skin, kidneys, heart, and brain (1). We herein describe the case of a 30-year-old female presenting two cl...
