Abstract

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is characterized by calcification of dermal connective tissues. Typical rhytides and horizontal creases of the chin are cutaneous manifestations that begin at an early age and are often overlooked. We report 2 patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum who had characteristic rhytides and horizontal creases of the chin ("mental" creases). Rhytides and horizontal creases were successfully treated with injectable collagen.
