Abstract:
Three cases of pseudoxanthoma elasticum are presented and the literatures are reviewed. Two cases were presented with the marked cutaneous manifestation of this condition and angioid streak. One case was presented with only the marked skin lesion of this condition on both axilla and neck. Typically involved skin was shown to be speckled with pea-sized yellowish numorous papules. Typical elastic tissue degeneration was found in the involved skin. No genetic background was discovered in the patients.
