Abstract
Papular elastorrhexis is a rare cutaneous disorder that occurs predominantly during adolescence. The disorder is characterized by asymptomatic indurated white or flesh papules showing decreased and fragmented elastic fibers in the dermis. We herein report on a 12-year-old girl with multiple asymptomatic white, nonfollicular, firm papules scattered on the extremities and trunk. Histological examination revealed focal areas showing increased layers of collagen fibers and decreased and fragmented elastic fibers in the upper dermis.
