Elastosis Perforans Serpiginosum
source: Medscape
year: 2016
authors: Elizabeth A Liotta
summary/abstract:Elastosis perforans serpiginosa (EPS) is a rare skin disease in which abnormal elastic tissue fibers, other connective tissue elements, and cellular debris are expelled from the papillary dermis through the epidermis (transepithelial elimination). Elastosis perforans serpiginosa may be distinguished morphologically and histologically from other cutaneous diseases.
The first recognizable description of elastosis perforans serpiginosa was provided by Fischer in 1927 but was offered as an example of Kyrle disease. Jones and Smith also described elastosis perforans serpiginosa in 1947 but mistook it for porokeratosis of Mibelli. In 1953, Lutz recognized the features of elastosis perforans serpiginosa as those of an unknown disease and termed the condition keratosis follicularis serpiginosa. Miescher believed the condition was unique and termed it elastoma intrapapillare perforans verruciform.
