D-penicillamine-induced elastosis perforans serpiginosa and localized cutis laxa in a patient with Wilson's disease.

Abstract

A patient with Wilson's disease who developed elastosis perforans serpiginosa and localized cutis laxa during prolonged treatment with D-penicillamine is described. Induction of elastosis perforans serpiginosa and of cutis laxa by D-penicillamine may be due to a similar mechanism.
