Perforating Elastoma

definition

Dermatosis occurring either as an isolated genetic trait with autosomal dominant inheritance or together with connective tissue disorders such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan’s syndrome and osteogenesis imperfecta. In this dermatosis, transepidermal extrusion of elastic material occurs, frequently peri- or transfollicularly. The disorder presents with annular, circular, serpiginous, ridged lesions consisting of narrow, hard, keratotic or verruciform reddish papules. The lesions show a tendency to peripheral progression and central healing. The neck, the cheeks, and the extremities are particularly involved. Perforating Elastoma mainly begins in youth.
