Nevus Anelasticus 1예

Abstract

Nevus anelasticus is an elastic tissue disorder that is characterized by perifollicular papules and the fragmentation or absence of elastic tissue. A 17-year-old female presented with multiple erythematous papules on her lower back. These skin lesions first appeared a few years ago and at that time she presented with multiple, flat tapped, coalescing pinkish-red papules that were 0.5 to 1 centimeters in diameter. Histopathologic examination revealed the loss of elastic tissue, with fragmentation of the residual elastic fibers in the upper and mid dermis, and the pattern of the dermal collagen was normal. Herein we report on a rare case of nevus anelasticus and we review the relevant literature.
