Two case of perforating calcific elastosis
Abstract
- Perforating calcific elastosis, referred to as periumbilical perforating pseudoxanthoma elasticum that can occur in middle-aged, multiparous, obese women with a possible genetic predisposition to pseudoxanthoma elasticum. We report two cases which showed the clinical and histopathologic fundings of perforating calcific elastosis in a 77 year-old and; 69 year-old woman. Clinically, the losio is were well-demarcated, yellow to brownish hyperpigmentcd and verrucous plaques with discreted ratotic papules just above the umbilicus. Histopathologically, altered basophilic calcified elastic fiber were extruded through the hyperplastic epidermis to the surface of the skin and were present in the eticular dermis.
