Elastoma is a connective tissue nevus characterized by changes in elastic fibers.
It can be congenital or acquired, and is usually diagnosed before puberty.
Associated with osteopoikilosis, it is known as Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome.
Histopathology with specific staining for elastic fibers is critical for a
diagnostic conclusion. This report describes the case of a 7-year-old male
patient with lesions diagnosed as elastoma, with absence of bone changes in the
radiological imaging. This study aims to report the clinical presentation and
histological examination of such unusual disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
