Introduction
Papular elastorrhexis (PE) which was first described by Bordas et al. in 1987, is a rare acquired elastic tissue disorder characterized by multiple asymptomatic, non-follicular, flesh-colored or hypopigmented, monomorphous papules (1, 2). PE is usually located on the trunk and the proximal portion of the extremities in female children or adolescent girls (2). The nosologic position of PE is controversial. Clinical and histological characteristics classify PE as a distinctive entity different from nevus anelasticus and Buschke–Ollendorff syndrome (2,3). The exact etiology of this condition is still unknown. No history of trauma or local inflammation, nor systemic associations or family history are present.
