A Case of Papular Elastorrhexis Improved by Intralesional Injections of Triamcinolone Acetonide / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Papular elastorrhexis is a rare disorder characterized by multiple, white, non-follicular, firm papules usually occurring on the trunk during adolescence. Histologically, there are focal areas of collagen homogenization with decreased and fragmented elastic fibers. There has been no established treatment for this disease. We report a case of papular elastorrhexis in a 19-year-old female patient improved by intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetonide (TA).
