Abstract
Linear focal elastosis in three young Japanese men is described. The lesions are asymptomatic palpable yellow strialike bands extending horizontally across the middle and lower parts of the back. They are histologically composed of many fine wavy bundles of elastic fibers separating the dermal collagen bundles. Electron microscopy demonstrates numerous elongated and fragmented elastic fibers.
