- Abstract
- Elastosis perforans serpiginosa (EPS) is a rare reactive perforating dermatosis that is characterized by the transepidermal elimination of abnormal elastic fibers. Penicillamine, which is one of the clear triggers for EPS, is a heavy metal chelator that is primarily used for disorders such as cystinuria and Wilson's disease. It may cause alterations in the dermal elastic tissue such as pseudo-pseudoxanthoma elasticum, acquired cutis laxa, EPS and anetoderma. Herein we present a case of cutis laxa and EPS in a 34-year-old man who was previously on a long-term, high-dose of penicillamine for Wilson's disease. The combination of EPS and cutis laxa induced by penicillamine has rarely been reported and we report the first such case in Korea. (Ann Dermatol 22(4) 468 similar to 471, 2010)
