The manuscript describes a case of a 68-year-old woman with a pruritic nodule and yellow cobblestone plaque on her abdomen. Biopsy results showed trans epidermal illumination of basophilic elastic fibres in the reticular dermis with calcium deposits. The diagnosis was perforating calcific elastosis, an acquired rare condition mostly seen in obese, multiparous, middle-aged women.
