Juvenile Elastoma

Juvenile Elastoma (Weidman)

“…In connective tissue nevi of the elastic type, the local form is represented by "nevus elasticus regionis mammariae" which was first reported by Lewandowsky (1921). The disseminated variety, "juvenile elastoma", was recognized by Weidman et al (1933) and also described by de Graciansky & Leclercq (1960) under the name of "nevus elasticus in disseminated tumors". This disseminated nodular form can be familial and associated with osteopoikilosis (Smith & Waisman 1960, Cairns 1967, Harman 1969, Labouehe et al 1974, Morrisson et al 1977.…”

“…Described by Weidman et al (1933), juvenile elastoma also called nevus elasticus in disseminated tumors (De Graciansky & Leclercq 1960), is a rare disseminated variety of connective tissue nevus. Elastic fibers are the predominant component of this dysembryo plasia.…”

Acquired disorders of elastic tissue: part I. increased elastic tissue and solar elastotic syndromes

“…Elastoma was described by Weidman, Anderson, and Ayres in 1933 in a pediatric patient with a disseminated form to which they ascribed the term juvenile elastoma. 111,112 Epidemiology. Elastoma is typically diagnosed in children, although isolated cases in persons during the second and third decades have also been reported.…”

Naevus Elasticus (Elastoma Juvenile Weidman) and Naevus Collagenicus Lumbosacralis in Pringle’s Disease

“…Weidman et al [12] called the naevus elasticus originally a juvenile elastoma, and suggested relationship to pseudoxanthoma elasticuin. Later this assum ption has been abandoned [2].…”
