elastorrexis papulosa, tejido conjuntivo, fibras elásticas, nevoAbstract
Papular elastorrhexis is a rare acquired dermatosis, characterized by asymptomatic, non-follicular, skin-colored papules localized on the trunk and arms. Histopathology shows important fragmentation of dermal elastic fibers.
We report a case of papular elastorrhexis and we classify this entity as an elastic nevus and differentiate it from the Buschke-Ollendorf syndrome. Key words: Papular elastorrhexis, connective tissue, elastic fibers, nevus.
