Abstract:
We report a case of periumbilical pseudoxanthoma elasticum in a 73-year-old female. It is characterized by a dark-yellowish plaque present on the periumbilical area of the lower abdomen. The plaque is well-demarcated and its surface is grooved or fissured, atrophic and verrucoid. This localized lesion of the periumbilical area occurs in a multiparous woman with no history of hereditary systemic pseudoxanthoma elasticum.
