Abstract:
We report herein a case of perforating pseudoxanthoma elasticum in a 44-year-old female who was suffered from yellowish, crepelike, lax, redundant patches on her neck, axilla, antecubital area, groin, popliteal area bilaterally and serpiginous erythernatous plaqus in yellowish redundant patch of right axillary area. Asymptomatic erythematous papule developed on the previous biopsy site 20 days after taking biopsy. Histopathologically, short and gnarled abnormal elastic fibers, which are basophilic stained, are clumped in middle and lower dermis, and some fibers extend through epidermal channel to the surface of skin.
