title: Elastoderma: Case Report and Literature Review.
abstract: Elastoderma is a rare cutaneous condition, which clinically presents as an acquired laxity and decreased recoil of skin. It is histologically characterized by an increase of pleomorphic and fragmented elastic fibers in the superficial dermis. A case of a 61-year-old woman with wrinkled lax skin on the anterior and lateral aspects of her neck was reported. Microscopic examination revealed an accumulation of fragmented curled elastic fibers in the dermis. This is the fifth reported case of elastoderma.
