title: Elastosis perforans serpiginosa and associated disorders.
abstract: We report elastosis perforans serpiginosa (EPS) arising in three patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta and Down's syndrome. These cases illustrate some of the rare but well-recognized disease associations with EPS. The other causes of EPS are reviewed.
