Abstract
-
Linear focal elastosis is an uncommon disorder which clinically manifests as band-like striae, and typically occur on the back. Histologically and ultrastructurally, there is a focal increase of elastic fibers. We report an unusual case of linear focal elastosis occurring exclusively on the legs of a 22-year-old man with psoriasis.
