Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a heritable disorder of elastic tissue and it has many systemic manifestations. PXE is a systemic disorder that most markedly affects the elastic tissues in the skin, retina and blood vessels. Defects in the ABCC6 gene lead to calcification of elastic tissue. We herein report on two cases of pseudoxanthoma elasticum that presented with focal involvement on the skin of the neck without marked wrinkling.
