Perforating periumbilical calcific elastosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1206109397

Perforating calcific elastosis is an acquired localised skin disorder resulting from transepidermal elimination of abnormal shortened calcified elastic fibres. It is found most frequently in obese multiparous middle-aged women and is characterised clinically by lax well-circumscribed reticulated or cobble-stoned plaques surmounted by keratotic papules in the periumbilical region .
