Abstract
Characteristic skin changes lead to diagnosis of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), an ectopic mineralization disorder, involving primarily the skin, eyesight, and arterial vessels. Early recognition is crucial for timely treatment of extracutaneous complications. We hereby report a series of four cases of PXE with pathognomonic skin lesions and a broad spectrum of systemic complications.Entities:
