Haemoglobinopathy-associated acquired pseudoxanthoma elasticum – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1336740058

Haemoglobinopathy-associated acquired pseudoxanthoma elasticum has been associated with a variety of haemoglobinopathies including sickle cell anaemia, beta-thalassaemia and hereditary spherocytosis. Clinical manifestations are similar to the genetic form but of variable severity and generally of late onset. The pathogenesis is not fully understood.
