Annotation	The goal is to demonstrate a clinical case of serpiginous perforating elastosis for
 better awareness of doctors.The hallmark of the perforating diseases is the
 transepidermal elimination of degraded dermal componenrs. The material extruded 
may represent abnormally constituded collagen, elastic fibers or other matrix
 components. Four classical forms of primary perforating dermatosis are described: 
reactive perforating collagenosis, Kyrle’s disease, perforating folliculitis and elastosis
 perforans serpiginosa.
