Abstract:
We are reporting a case of 25-year-old male patient with elastosis perforance serpiginosa who showed multipte serpiginous plaques on his neck. Some of the lesions showed hypopigmented, hard, scar-tissue like plaques in the central part. Histologic examination showed hyperplasia and transepidermal elimination of elastic tissue. By electron microscopy, also, we could prove that the elastic fibers were increased in the dermis.
