title: [Papillary dermal elastolysis similar to pseudoxanthoma elasticum].
abstract: Papillary dermal elastolysis similar to pseudoxanthoma elasticum is an elastolytic disorder characterized by cutaneous lesions on the neck and in the supraclavicular region that are clinically similar to pseudoxanthoma elasticum, with no systemic complications. The histological examination shows a loss of elastic fibers in the papillary dermis. We report a case in a 76-year-old woman with typical lesions on the neck.
