Abstract
Hematoxylin and eosin stain showed normal epidermis with increased elastin fibers throughout the dermis [Figure 2]a. Verhoeff Van-Gieson stain showed the presence of increased thin, wavy elongated as well as fragmented elastin fibers [Figure 2]b. Based on clinical and histological findings, a diagnosis of linear focal elastosis was made. Growth spurt in younger individuals and UV exposure leading to actinic dermal elastosis are other possible factors leading to LFE. The number of vertical fibrillin fibers adjacent to the dermal-epidermal junction and the elastin fibers on the papillary dermis are significantly reduced.
