The facial area is rarely involved. We report the case of a 47-year-old woman with multiple asymptomatic, soft, skin-colored facial papules whose histopathological features are compatible with PE. Facial PE may be a variant of PE, and special staining in showing changes in both elastic and collagen fibers may be of great value in diagnosis.Keywords: papular elastorrhexis, facial area, elastic fibers, collagen fibers, case report |
