Abstract:
Linear focal elastosis (LFE) is a rare elastotic disorder usually seen in elderly individuals but now increasingly recognized in adolescents. We report a 13-year-old boy presenting with several annular plaques predominantly over the mid and lower back, associated with yellowish linear streaks and central atrophy. Histopathology revealed irregular, fragmented elastic fibers consistent with LFE. This case highlights a rare annular morphological variant of LFE in an adolescent and underscores the importance of recognizing this variant to avoid misdiagnosis with other annular dermatoses.
