[Pseudoxanthoma elasticum].

Four young female patients with Pseudodixanthome elasticum are reported, corresponding to the Grönblad and Strandberg syndrome.

We conferred to the skin changes the means of a marker that obligates an exhaustive study and follow-up of the patients to make visceral affectations.
