Milia en plaque associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum
Journal of Cutaneous Pathology
|January 1, 1997
Abstract:
We report a woman with numerous milia occurring in a plaque-type distribution in the postauricular area, who has suffered from cutaneous pseudoxanthoma elasticum on both sides of the neck. Milia may arise primarily or may follow a number of dermatoses. We believe this is a unique case because milia en plaque coexisting with pseudoxanthoma elasticum does not appear to have been reported previously.
Insights
This case study describes a unique instance of milia en plaque occurring alongside pseudoxanthoma elasticum in a patient. This rare co-occurrence of skin conditions in the postauricular and neck areas has not been previously documented.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Clinical Case Reports
- Rare Skin Conditions
Background:
- Milia are small keratinous cysts that can appear primarily or secondary to other dermatoses.
- Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is a rare genetic disorder affecting elastic tissue, often manifesting in the skin.
- The coexistence of milia en plaque and pseudoxanthoma elasticum is not well-documented in medical literature.
