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.…”

Subungual Elastofibroma

“…Dermatofibrosis lenticularis disseminata – which is now understood as connective tissue nevus or elastofibroma – in association with osteopoikilosis was described by Buschke and Ollendorff in 1928 [3]. Non-syndromic elastoma was reported in a child in 1930 [4]. It is also called elastic nevus or connective tissue nevus [5, 6].…”

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].…”
