description | A systematic review was carried out on a rare dermatological condition affecting papillary dermal tissue fibers of the skin known as elastosis perforans serpiginosa (EPS). The aim of this review was to highlight this skin disease, its association with other medical conditions, and its management. The search was conducted by using the keywords "elastosis perforans serpiginosa" and "case reports" in the databases. A total of 10 case reports were analyzed and presented by the parameters like age, gender, chief complaints, and medical history. The most common causes of EPS were drug-induced and occurred along with the Wilson disease. The study concluded that as EPS is an uncommon disease with few instances, there is a need for further research to analyze randomized controlled trials that have been conducted in relation to the condition. |
