Elastoma: clinical and histopathological aspects of a rare disease

Elastoma is a connective tissue nevus characterized by changes in elastic fibers. It can be congenital or acquired, and is usually diagnosed before puberty. Associated with osteopoikilosis, it is known as Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome. Histopathology with specific staining for elastic fibers is critical for a diagnostic conclusion. This report describes the case of a 7-yearold male patient with lesions diagnosed as elastoma, with absence of bone changes in the radiological imaging. This study aims to report the clinical presentation and histological examination of such unusual disease.Univ Fed Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilUniv Fed Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, SP, BrazilWeb of Scienc
