Abstract
It is not generally appreciated that pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) can be associated with epidermal perforation by elastic fibers. An example of this phenomenon is reported. The term perforating PXE is suggested and a distinction is made from elastosis perforans serpiginosa (EPS). Most reported cases of coexistence of PXE and EPS possibly are perforating PXE; the coexistence of EPS has not been clearly demonstrated.
