Coexisting elastosis perforans serpiginosa and acquired cutis laxa following long-term penicillamine in Wilson disease
We report a rare case of coexisting elastosis perforans serpiginosa and acquired cutis laxa in a patient with Wilson's disease following prolonged penicillamine therapy. This represents two rare but important dermatologic complications of long-term chelation therapy that clinicians should be aware of, given the potential for underlying elastin disruption to also affect systemic tissues.
