Bullous solar elastosis.
Solar elastosis is a recognized manifestation of chronic sun exposure affecting mainly Caucasian skin. Recognizable clinical manifestations of solar elastosis include cutis rhomboidalis nuchae, Favre-Racouchot syndrome, actinic comedonal plaque, nodular forms such as elastomas, elastic nodule of the ear and elastotic bands, collagenous plaques of the hand, and colloid milia. We report two patients with an unusual presentation of vesicular lesions clinically and histopathologically situated in zones of severe solar elastosis that has been previously referred to as bullous solar elastosis.
