Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is a heritable disorder of connective tissue characterized by cutaneous, vascular and ocular changes that result from the accumulation of fragmented elastic fibres. Even though the etiopathogenesis is not still completely understood, in recent years in literature some Authors have considered pseudoxanthoma elasticum as a metabolic disorder. We present the case of a 45-year-old man affected by pseudoxanthoma elasticum and light-chain amyloidosis and we discuss the possible reasons that led to this association.

Abstract
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is a heritable disorder of connective tissue characterized by cutaneous, vascular and ocular changes that result from the accumulation of fragmented elastic fibres. Even though the etiopathogenesis is not still completely understood, in recent years in literature some Authors have considered pseudoxanthoma elasticum as a metabolic disorder. We present the case of a 45-year-old man affected by pseudoxanthoma elasticum and light-chain amyloidosis and we discuss the possible reasons that led to this association.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
