A 31 year old man presented with an anterior myocardial infarction. He had a history of recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding of obscure cause since childhood and peripheral vascular disease. A clinical diagnosis of the type 1 dominant form of pseudoxanthoma elasticum was supported by histological data from skin biopsy.
