Non-inflammatory dermal elastolysis.
A 33-year-old woman is described who suffers from an idiopathic loss of mid-dermal elastic tissue which leads to wrinkling of the skin and to discrete perifollicular protrusions. In accordance with Sheley & Wood (1977) we conclude that these findings represent a new entity for which we propose the term 'non-inflammatory dermal elastolysis'.
