Abstract (2. Language):
Elastosis perforans serpiginosa is a rare elastic tissue disorder characterized by keratotic papules, which are usually arranged in serpiginous, annular
or arcuate patterns. It is usually observed in young adults. Associations
with systemic disorders, such as pseudoxanthoma elasticum, EhlersDanlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome and osteogenesis imperfecta have
been reported. Herein a case of generalized reactive elastosis perforans
serpiginosa simultaneously diagnosed to have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
type IV with translucent skin, common atrophic scars, postinflammatory
hyperpigmentation is presented because of the rare coexistence of these
two entities.
