Elastosis Perforans Serpiginosa: A Case Report

Abstract

We report a 61-year-old man with multiple colored skin papules with central crusts in an archiform and linear pattern on his forehead as well as verrucus and hyperkeratotic plaques with central perforation on hands. Histologic examination of the lesions demonstrated a narrow channel of epidermal perforation containing notrophils, basophilic debris and elastic fibers with eosinophilic degeneration compatible with the diagnosis of elastosis perforans serpiginosa.
