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.
法布瑞氏病(FD)的初始症状可能看似无害,从而可能导致其诊断被延误。我们对 29 名经活检证实存在血管角皮瘤的男性及其部分亲属进行了 FD 调查和筛查。发现了 3 例患者。皮肤科医生应注意到这一突出的早期特征,并对不明原因的皮肤血管病变进行检查,以发现 FD。
