Papular elastorrhexis (disorder)
Papular elastorrhexis
A rare acquired dermis elastic tissue disorder characterized by multiple, asymptomatic firm well-demarcated nonfollicular hypopigmented or skin-colored papules, with a diameter of less than 1 cm, distributed symmetrically over trunk and/or proximal limbs (rarely, head, neck, shoulders, armpits, thighs) and with no extracutaneous manifestations. Histopathology typically reveals decreased and fragmented elastic fibers, thickened and/or homogenized collagen bundles and in some a mild perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate in the dermis.
