Reticular variant of mid-dermal elastolysis.
Mid-dermal elastolysis is a rare disorder characterised by focal loss of elastic tissue in the mid-dermis. Most patients present with lesions of fine wrinkling (type I) or perifollicular papules (type II). The reticular variant (type III) has been described less often in the literature. We report a case of a young woman with type III mid-dermal elastolysis.
