ABSTRACT
This paper describes a typical case of Favre-Racouchot syndrome in an 83-year-old agriculturist. The exact pathogenesis of Favre-Racouchot syndrome remains unclear but apparently extensive exposure to sun and harsh weather is possibly responsible as had been in the described case.
Key words: chronic actinic skin damage; nodular elastosis; solar elastosis; senile elastosis.
