Angiokeratomas are a group of disorders characterized by ectatic dermal capillaries with a prominent epidermal response in the form of hyperkeratosis, occurring in clinically distinct conditions. Solitary angiokeratoma of tongue without association with systemic conditions such as Fabry's disease and fucosidosis is very rare. We present a case of solitary angiokeratoma of tongue in a 12-year-old otherwise healthy male with no evidence of systemic associations. |
