Angiokeratoma corporis diffusum (ACD) is a variety of angiokeratoma, characterized by diffuse cutaneous hyperkeratotic vascular lesions. ACD is usually associated with many lysosomal enzyme deficiencies, though it is not a rule. It is associated with systemic features along with skin lesions. It may also present as isolated cutaneous form. X-linked recessive form usually manifests in males and females act as carriers. We report a case of ACD without systemic features in a young Kashmiri female.
