Fig. 1 — Skin alterations in the pseudoxanthoma elasticum. A–C: In the axillae typical pseudoxanthoma elasticum lesions were found, consisting of clumps of degenerated elastic fibres in the mid and lower dermis (A). Von Kossa stain showed calcifications of these elastic fibres (B). On the CT scan, thickened skin (<) was seen (C). D–F: Other localisations of the skin, macroscopically unremarkable, showed degenerated elastic fibres in the septa of the subcutaneous fatty layer. The marked area in D is shown in E (H&E stain) and F (von Kossa stain)
