Disseminated nevus anelasticus.

E Crivellato

    International Journal of Dermatology
    |April 1, 1986

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study describes a rare skin condition, disseminated nevus anelasticus, characterized by widespread wrinkling due to elastic fiber loss. The condition is distinct from Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome, highlighting a unique presentation of cutaneous elastic hamartoma.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Cutaneous elastic hamartoma is a rare condition affecting skin elasticity.
    • Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome involves skin and bone abnormalities.
    • Distinguishing between similar dermatological conditions is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A 23-year-old male presented with diffuse, fine wrinkling on his back and trunk.
    • The wrinkling resulted from coalescing pinkish-red papules that appeared 5 years prior.
    • Histology showed focal disappearance of elastic fibers in circumscribed dermal areas.

    Findings:

    • The patient exhibited widespread cutaneous elastic hamartoma.
    • Histopathology confirmed a focal absence of elastic fibers.

  • Normal dermal collagen and reticulin patterns were observed.
  • X-rays excluded bone density changes, ruling out Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome.

    • Implications:

    • This case introduces "disseminated nevus anelasticus" as a distinct clinical entity.
    • Understanding this condition aids in differentiating it from other elastic tissue disorders.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific pathogenesis of disseminated nevus anelasticus.
