Abstract

Two new cases of mid-dermal elastolysis are reported. In the first case, a 32-year-old woman, the clinical picture included the typical perifollicular protrusions of the trunk and wrinkled skin of the members. There was no prodrome and no other signs were associated. In the second case, a 39-year-old woman, after a 14-year clinical course, the skin manifestations involved the entire body with the exception of the face. Over the years, the initial follicular papules progressively formed plaques of wrinkled skin.
