Abstract

We describe two patients with lesions clinically resembling pseudoxanthoma elasticum and histologically exhibiting focal elastosis, with normal-appearing elastic fibres in the mid- and deep dermis. We consider that these skin lesions represent a previously undescribed entity, whose pathogenesis appears to be related to the ageing process.
