Pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis is a peculiar idiopathic elastolytic disorder with cutaneous lesions clinically resembling pseudoxanthoma elasticum with partial or total band-like elastolysis of the papillary dermis histopathologically, and without systemic complications. We here report 2 new cases and review the clinicopathological features of patients with this diagnosis in the literature. The possible pathogenesis of this recently described entity is discussed.
