A new case of typical mid dermal elastolysis was studied with electron microscopy. Elastic fibers were irregularly branched or lumpy, but subcomponents of these fibers were often normal. In some fibers, loose assembly of skeleton fibrils and aggregation of dense substances were observed. Phagocytosis of normal and abnormal elastic fibers by dermal macrophages was observed.
