Abstract

We report a very curious case of a condition which has never been described before. Its features are comparable but not quite identical with those of Christensen's saltpetre-induced PXE which the author considers to be an exogenous variety of pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Since our case appeared spontaneously without any accidental episode we prefer to designate it under the name 'localized PXE'. The chequered appearance of the lesions seems to be the characteristic feature of the disease.
