We describe a case of pseudo-xanthoma elasticum (PE) in a child with distinctive skin lesions without other symptoms. Renal ultrasonography showed a characteristic pattern of dotted increased echogenicity in the corticomedullary junction. Pancreas and spleen had similar echographic findings. We point out the importance of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of this rare disorder.
