title: Papillary dermal elastosis.
abstract: We recently came across the article "Papillary dermal elastosis" by Newlove et al published in the October 2011 edition of Dermatology Online Journal. In this paper, the authors described what they interpreted to be the second case of papillary dermal elastosis, an entity we had first identified in 2009. Upon further reading of their histopathologic and clinical description, we believe this case is more consistent with the diagnosis of pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis (PXE-PDE).
