Abstract
Papular Elastorrhexis (PE) is a connective tissue naevus that presents with non-follicular, yellow or white oval papules(1-5mm), mostly on the proximal extremities and the trunk. It is diagnosed with good clinical acumen and histologically with fragmented or decreased dermal elastic fibers. PE is difficult for clinicians to diagnose because of the rarity of the disease and non-specific presentation. Here we report a rare case of PE.

Summary
Papular Elastorrhexis (PE) a connective tissue naevus, is a rare sporadic condition which presents with multiple symmetrical asymptomatic non follicular, yellow or white oval papules (1-5mm), mostly on the proximal extremities and the trunk.[1,2,3] There is no family history and no extracutaneous features in most cases of PE.[1] It is diagnosed with good clinical acumen and histologically with fragmented or decreased dermal elastic fibers, with or without changes in collagen bundles in the dermis.[4] PE is difficult for the clinicians to diagnose because of the rarity of the disease and non-specific presentation.[1] Here we report a rare case of PE. Occasionally pruritic, small lesions were noted over trunk, which spread over both upper arms.
