Linear Focal Elastosis in a Family
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Linear focal elastosis is a disorder of elastic tissue characterized by yellowish horizontal asymptomatic palpable bands commonly on back. The condition is very less reported, easily overlooked by physicians and less known. We report the cases of LFE in a family which indicated the role of genetic inheritance in the etiology. Two young males 16 year and 18 years old presented with horizontal yellowish streaks over the back since last 5 months and 1 year respectively. They also reported similar lesions in their fathers. These lesions were characteristic of LFE in morphology.
