Histopathological characterisation of molluscoid pseudotumour seen in Ehlers–Danlos syndrome

Abstract

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a clinically and genetically heterogenous group of connective tissue disorders characterized by abnormal fibrillar collagen synthesis or abnormalities in proteins that interact with collagen.1 The basic clinical hallmarks of EDS are joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility.2,3 Molluscoid pseudotumors are a characteristic dermatologic feature of the classical EDS subtype and serve as a minor criterion in its diagnosis.2.
