Abstract
Skin biopsy is the method of choice for the diagnosis of Lafora's disease. The presence of PAS (+) inclusions characteristic of Lafora's disease has been thought to be more evident in aprocrine glands of the axillary skin than in the duct cells of the eccrine glands. We describe 4 patients with Lafora's disease diagnosed by axilla skin biopsy, confirming the usefulness of this procedure.
