Abstract
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis is an acquired
elastic tissue disorder clinically
similar to
pseudoxanthoma elasticum in the absence of systemic involvement. Histopathologically, special
staining of
elastic fibers demonstrates a total or partial band-like loss of
elastic fibers in the papillary
dermis. Although
ultraviolet radiation seems to be one of the main etiological factors in this entity, we
report a case of
pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis on the
neck of a
woman who wore hijab.
