title: Elastosis perforans serpiginosa. Report of a family.
abstract: Two brothers with typical, symmetrical lesions of elastosis perforans serpiginosa are presented. Familial occurrence has been reported only once. In neither family was the disease associated with heritable disorders of the connective tissue. The pedigree analysis suggests an autosomal-recessive pattern of inheritance.
