%X Papular elastorrhexis (PE) is a rare disorder of elastic tissue characterized by asymptomatic, nonfollicular, whitish or flesh-coloured, monomorphous, discrete, oval to round papules [1¨C5]. One to five mm-sized papules are symmetrically distributed on the chest, abdomen, back and upper limbs [1, 3, 4]. Some PE cases may be underestimated because of the asymptomatic course of the lesions or misdiagnosed because of rarity of the disorder and similarity of the lesions to acne scars [2]. Up to now, fewer than 30 PE cases have been reported [4]
