Abstract
|
|
|
|
Papular elastorrhexis is a rare disorder, possibly a form of multiple elastic tissue nevi. The disorder typically presents as several asymptomatic, firm, nonfollicular, 1- to 5-mm-diameter, and well-demarcated white papules. It predominantly appears on the trunk, including the chest, abdomen, back and shoulders, upper extremities, and, rarely, thighs. Histologically, it is characterized by substantial fragmentation or nearly complete loss of elastic tissue in the reticular dermis. We report a 37-year-old female with popular elastorrhexis, which developed on a rare site, only dorsal aspect of the hand and foot with no involvement of the proximal extremities.
