  • Title: [Elastosis perforans serpiginosa in Down syndrome].
    Author: Wilms A, Dummer R.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 1997 Dec; 48(12):923-5. PubMed ID: 9486366.
    Abstract:
    Elastosis perforans serpiginosa can arise as a rare complication in patients with Down syndrome. It is one of the primary perforating disorders characterized by transepithelial elimination of abnormal elastic fibers. This may reflect an immunological reaction aquist elastic fibers. We describe a 40-year-old woman with Down's syndrome whose skin lesions were histologically mistaken for lupus vulgaris for a long time.
