Angiokeratoma corporis diffusum with features of a mucopolysaccharidosis.

PMCID: PMC1048482  PMID: 6767848

Abstract

Two cases of angiokeratoma corporis diffusum with mental retardation and some features of a mucopolysaccharidosis have been investigated biochemically, histopathologically, and by electron microscopy. It is submitted, on this evidence, that they are examples of a hitherto undescribed form of lysosomal enzyme deficiency disease.
