  • Title: A case of acrogeria associated with late-onset focal dermal elastosis.
    Author: Tajima S, Inazumi T, Kobayashi T.
    Journal: Dermatology; 1996; 192(3):264-8. PubMed ID: 8726645.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of acrogeria. Biochemical analysis of patient fibroblasts demonstrated unaltered type III collagen synthesis. An RNA hybridization assay demonstrated that the levels of type I and elastin mRNAs were normal. The patient had multiple yellow papules on the neck, axilla and inguinal area which clinically and histologically resembled late-onset focal dermal elastosis. Both diseases may have some similar abnormal metabolism of connective tissue.
