A Case Report on Mid-Dermal Elastolysis: A Distinctive Presentation on the Neck

Mid-dermal elastolysis (MDE) is a very rare and acquired skin condition. MDE has a variety of clinical manifestations that can be presented with a reticular erythematous patch with telangiectasis, perifollicular popular protrusions, or finely wrinkled skin. A biopsy is always necessary to rule out o...

description Mid-dermal elastolysis (MDE) is a very rare and acquired skin condition. MDE has a variety of clinical manifestations that can be presented with a reticular erythematous patch with telangiectasis, perifollicular popular protrusions, or finely wrinkled skin. A biopsy is always necessary to rule out other potential elastic fiber disorders. In this case study, a 33-year-old female with an odd MDE presentation in her neck area is examined. No contributing factors, apart from exposure to sunlight, could be gleaned from the patient's history. The patient didn't benefit from the application of various types of topical agents or any other therapies to lessen the size and advancement of the lesion. In this distinct case, we discuss clinical and histological findings and the treatment plan offered, as well as include a concise review of specific past literature.
