Abstract :

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare inherited, multisystem disorder affecting skin, eyes and cardiovascular system. It is characterized by generalized fragmentation and progressive calcification of elastic tissues. We report a 28 year old female who presented with asymptomatic distinctive lesions over her neck and with intermittent pain over both legs.
