Penicillamine-induced acquired pseudoxanthoma elasticum – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/2069891014

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum limited to the skin resulting from long-term administration of penicillamine. Inhibition of cross-linking of collagen and elastic fibres results in production of vastly increased amounts of abnormal elastin in the dermis.
