Linear Focal Elastosis Associated with Striae Distensae in an Atopic Patient / 대한피부과학회지

We report a case of linear focal elastosis associated with striae distensae. A 20-year-old man presented with asymptomatic, several, striae-like yellow palpable bands extending horizontally in the lumbar region. Histologic examination revealed many fine wavy and fragmented bundles of elastic fibers in the dermis. Striae distensae were also presented in the buttock, axilla. He had been treated with topical steroids for atopic dermatitis since childhood. This patient can be one more case to support the association between linear focal elastosis and striae distensae.
