Summary Five cases with angiokeratoma corporis diffusum (Fabry's syndrome) are described. The characteristic clinical features and skin rash were seen in four cases, and the familial tendency is illustrated since the cases included two pairs of brothers. A characteristic renal lesion is seen histologically in the disorder, and was demonstrated in three of the five cases; it is probably a constant finding, and was in fact the means of making the diagnosis in one case. The clinical and histological features are discussed in the hope that the diagnosis may be made more frequently.
