Mid-Dermal Elastolysis on Face, Unusual Localization: A Case Report

Abstract

Mid-dermal elastolysis (MDE) is a rare disorder and an acquired skin condition of the elastic tissue generally affecting young women on the trunk and proximal extremities, rarely the thighs and the face. We report a case of a patient with an unusual face presentation of this disorder, supporting the concept that MDE is an idiopathic distinct entity.
