Overview

Mid-dermal elastolysis (MDE) is a rare skin disease of unknown etiology affecting epecially young women. The role of ultraviolet light is speculated in the pathogenesis of the disease which is histolopathologically characterised by the loss of elastic fibres in the middle dermis and clinically by the wrinked skin surface. Authors report a case of 34-year old women with history of tanning bed exposure presenting with skin lesions on the trunk especially the upper anterior part of the chest histopathologically verified as MDE. After 2 years of follow-up and local therapy with over the counter soya preparations the skin lesions remained stable.

Key words:
mid-dermal elastolysis – wrinkled skin
