Abstract
We present a family with Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome presenting as elastic tissue naevi without evidence of osteopoikilosis. We discuss the variable expression of this syndrome in other families previously reported in the literature, the association of various connective tissue abnormalities and their correlation with the pathogenesis of this interesting condition.
