Abstract
In 1889, Mibelli,<sup>1</sup>under the title "Una Nuova Forma Di Cheratosi," described what he believed to be a hitherto unclassified dermatosis; to this he gave the name angiokeratoma. It seems beyond question, however, that the disease was recognized many years previously by French, English and Italian dermatologists. Bazin,<sup>2</sup>as early as 1862, recognized and described what was undoubtedly angiokeratoma, under the name of "Naevus a pernione." In 1877, Cottle<sup>3</sup>recorded an undoubted case of angiokeratoma in a treatise on cases of unusual warts in the St. George's Hospital Reports. Breda<sup>4</sup>gave a description of the condition in 1881 under the name "Dermatite de Congelazione." Radcliffe Crocker,<sup>5</sup>in the first edition of his "Diseases of the Skin," described a case of angiokeratoma under the heading of "Verruca," and the same condition was described by Colcott Fox,<sup>6</sup>in 1877 under the name of "Lymphangiectasis," later identified
