Description The course of PXE varies greatly between individuals. Typically it is first noticed during adolescence as yellow-orange bumps on the side of the neck. Similar bumps may appear at other places where the skin bends a lot, like the backs of the knees and the insides of the elbows. The skin in these areas tends to get thick, leathery, inelastic, and acquire extra folds. These skin problems have no serious consequences, and for some people, the disease progresses no further. Bruch's membrane, a layer of elastic fibers in front of the retina, becomes calcified in some people with PXE. Calcification causes cracks in Bruch's membrane, which can be seen through an ophthalmoscope as red, brown, or gray streaks called angioid streaks. The cracks can eventually (e.g., in 10-20 years) cause bleeding, and the usual resultant scarring leads to central vision deterioration. However, peripheral vision is unaffected. Arterial walls and heart valves contain elastic fibers that can become calcified. This leads to a greater susceptibility to the conditions that are associated with hardening of the arteries in the normal aging populationhigh blood pressure

HUM-MOLGEN DIAGnostics/Clinical Research 10 April 1997 Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum I was recently consulted by a family with an isolated case of pseudoxanthoma elasticum. In reviewing the litterature and OMIM I was struck by how vague the information was on mode of inheritance and risks for other members of the family. I would therefore like to contact medical and molecular geneticists with special expertise in this condition for further information. Sincerely yours, Jon J.

FIGURES RESUME / SUMMARY Haut de page We report a case of pseudoxanthoma elasticum associated with an acneiform eruption involving the cervical area. When she was 16 years-old our patient was diagnosed with pseudoxanthoma elasticum, affecting the skin (flexural, cervical and neck areas) and the eyes (bilateral ocular angioid streaks). Ten years later, acneiform lesions (inflammatory and comedones) developed on these lesions: This association is rarely reported and we think that atypical, cervical acneiform lesions may be an indication of pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The mechanism for this association is not clearly understood. In our case, Von-Kossa staining was negative for the granulomatous lesions and positive for the comedones: calcification could protect elastopathic fibers from phagocytosis. Treatment is difficult: anti-acneic treatments are not effective except for tetracylines, the anti-inflammatory effects of which can improve granulomatous lesions. As its efficacy has been reported in elastosis perforans serpiginosa, we used liquid nitrogen cryotherapy on the inflammatory lesions with good results (separation of epidermis from dermis perhaps promoting transepithelial elimination of the abnormal dermal elastic tissue).

When she was 16 years-old our patient was diagnosed with pseudoxanthoma elasticum, affecting the skin (flexural, cervical and neck areas) and the eyes (bilateral ocular angioid streaks). Ten years later, acneiform lesions (inflammatory and comedones) developed on these lesions: – the inflammatory lesions were characterized by phagocytosis of pathological elastic fibers inducing granuloma – the histological aspects of pseudoxanthoma elasticum were observed around large comedones. This association is rarely reported and we think that atypical, cervical acneiform lesions may be an indication of pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The mechanism for this association is not clearly understood. In our case, Von-Kossa staining was negative for the granulomatous lesions and positive for the comedones: calcification could protect elastopathic fibers from phagocytosis.

pseudoxanthoma elasticum Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is an autosomal recessive disorder of elastic fibres characterized by xanthoma-like yellowish nodules, especially in the axillae and neck. Patients with this condition may also have angioid streaks of the optic fundus and angiomatous malformations of the blood vessels (which can bleed into the gastrointestinal tract). A similar condition may also occur with long-term and high-dose treatment with D-penicillamine which produces similar cutaneous features. Click here for more information...

The cracks can eventually (e.g., in 10-20 years) cause bleeding, and the usual resultant scarring leads to central vision deterioration. However, peripheral vision is unaffected. Arterial walls and heart valves contain elastic fibers that can become calcified. This leads to a greater susceptibility to the conditions that are associated with hardening of the arteries in the normal aging population-high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, and arterial obstruction-and, similarly, mitral valve prolapse. Heart disease and hypertension associated with PXE have been reported in children as young as four to 13 years of age. Although often appearing at a younger age, the overall incidence of these conditions is only slightly higher for people with PXE than it is in the general population.
