Abstract:
Angiokeratomas are benign mucocutaneous lesions which are composed of enlarged veins in the dermis of the skin. Although angiokeratomas may be part of a systemic disease, it is important to distinguish them from other vascular lesions. In this report, we present a rare case of angiokeratoma of the nasal vestibule. To our knowledge, this is the first nasal angiokeratoma case in the literature. The diagnostic and treatment features of this case and the association of angiokeratoma with systemic diseases like Fabry disease were discussed.
