Cervical midline Z-plasty revision surgery for pseudoxanthoma elasticum.
A 30-year-old woman with known pseudoxanthoma elasticum was referred for surgical correction of extensive loose neck skin. She underwent a standard rhytidectomy, which produced minimal improvement. Revision surgery using a vertical elliptical skin excision, incorporating a Z-plasty was undertaken 3 months later and resulted in a satisfactory outcome.
