[Peusoxanthoma elasticum with multiple calcinosis and hyperphosphoremia].
BACKGROUND
Subcutaneous and vascular calcifications are classical manifestations of pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Visceral calcifications sometimes associated with unbalanced phosphocalcium leels are uncommon.


METHODS
We observed pseudoxanthoma elasticum in a French Caribbean patient who had extensive acneiform skin lesions with transepidermal elimination. Multivisceral calcifications were associated hyperphosphoremia alone.


CONCLUSIONS
The pathogenic sequence of phosphocalcium disorders in this disease are discussed on the basis of calcifications and hyperphosphoremia observed in this case and from data in the literature.
