- Abstract
Papular elastorrhexis (PE) is a rare disorder of dermal elastic fibers, which presents as firm, hypopigmented papules, commonly distributed on the trunk and extremities. The facial area is rarely involved. We report the case of a 47-year-old woman with multiple asymptomatic, soft, skin-colored facial papules whose histopathological features are compatible with PE. Facial PE may be a variant of PE, and special staining in showing changes in both elastic and collagen fibers may be of great value in diagnosis.
