Abstract
We report a case of mid-dermal elastolysis in which dermal inflammation was a mild but definite feature. The aetiology of this condition remains unknown, although inflammatory destruction of elastic fibres appears to be the final result. In this study, areas of inflammation exhibited features of a specific immune response, with induction of a number of immune accessory molecules.
