Mid-dermal elastolysis

A rare, acquired, dermis elastic tissue disease characterized by asymptomatic, well-demarcated, symmetric patches and/or plaques of finely wrinkled skin arranged parallel to skin cleavage lines (type I), associated with perifollicular papular protrusions (type II) or with persistent reticular erythema (type III), occurring predominantly on the shoulders, trunk, back, and proximal extremities, associating, on histopathology, a selective loss of elastic tissue in the midreticular dermis. Erythema and/or urticaria may or may not precede wrinkly lesions.

Granuloma

A compact, organized collection of mature mononuclear phagocytes, which may be but is not necessarily accompanied by accessory features such as necrosis.

	Mid-dermal elastophagocytosis presenting as a persistent reticulate erythema.
	Bannister MJ, Rubel DM, Kossard S. Australas J Dermatol. 2001;42(1):50-4.
	This presentation differs from that previously described with actinic granuloma, diffuse granuloma annulare or the inflammatory phase of mid-dermal elastolysis and expands the clinical spectrum of this phenomenon.

	Hohenleutner S, Wlotzke U, Landthaler M, Stolz W. Hautarzt. 1997;48(1):45-50.
	In their center the clinical and histopathological findings suggested non-inflammatory mid dermal elastolysis whereas the red and slightly elevated margins showed clinical and histopathological features of annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma.
