Description The course of PXE varies greatly between individuals. Typically it is first noticed during adolescence as yellow-orange bumps on the side of the neck. Similar bumps may appear at other places where the skin bends a lot, like the backs of the knees and the insides of the elbows. The skin in these areas tends to get thick, leathery, inelastic, and acquire extra folds. These skin problems have no serious consequences, and for some people, the disease progresses no further. Bruch's membrane, a layer of elastic fibers in front of the retina, becomes calcified in some people with PXE. Calcification causes cracks in Bruch's membrane, which can be seen through an ophthalmoscope as red, brown, or gray streaks called angioid streaks. The cracks can eventually (e.g., in 10-20 years) cause bleeding, and the usual resultant scarring leads to central vision deterioration. However, peripheral vision is unaffected.

pseudoxanthoma elasticum Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is an autosomal recessive disorder of elastic fibres characterized by xanthoma-like yellowish nodules, especially in the axillae and neck. Patients with this condition may also have angioid streaks of the optic fundus and angiomatous malformations of the blood vessels (which can bleed into the gastrointestinal tract). A similar condition may also occur with long-term and high-dose treatment with D-penicillamine which produces similar cutaneous features. Click here for more information...

Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum This patient is exhibiting the findings consistent with the diagnosis of pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The yellow lesions over her eyelids are xanthelasmas which are are filled with lipid laden macrophages. Xanthomas can also be found on the extensor surface of the arms: Or on the hands and achilles tendon: Her eye is exhibiting what is some times called the "arcus senilis" which in a young person should prompt a search for a lipid disorder. This is not necessarily the case with elderly individuals and can be found in elderly people with no lipid disorders. Most people now use the term "arcus" only. The arrowheads in the fundoscopic picture are pointing to what are called angiod streaks. These vessel like streaks are actually breaks in Bruch's membrane beneath the retina and can be a threat to vision if subretinal neovascularization occurs. Fortunately, the neovascularization will respond to laser therapy and prompt referral to an ophthamologist is warranted. Other important physical exam findings include a characteristic neck finding: As well as other interesting elicitable neck findings: They may also have the same hyperpigmented angiod lesions in skin fold areas, of which the groin is one such site:

Characteristic skin lesions can be seen in the axilla and anterior to the axilla in a patient with pseudoxanthoma elasticum, an inherited disorder of connective tissue. The lesions are yellow, xanthoma-like papules that have become confluent to form plaques, and there are redundant folds of skin in the axilla. In general, the skin lesions of pseudoxanthoma elasticum occur in flexural sites such as the neck, axillae (as in this patient), antecubital and popliteal fossae, and groin, and are said to resemble "plucked chicken skin."
