Late-onset focal dermal elastosis
Synonyms: PXE-like late-onset focal dermal elastosis | Pseudoxanthoma-like late-onset focal dermal elastosis
Late-onset focal dermal elastosis is a rare acquired dermis elastic tissue disorder characterized by a pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papular eruption consisting of multiple slowly progressive asymptomatic 2-5 mm white to yellowish non-follicular papules (that tend to form cobblestone plaques) predominantly distributed over the neck axillae and flexural areas with no systemic involvement. Skin biopsy reveals a focal increase of normal-appearing elastic tissue in the reticular dermis with no calcium deposits.
