Pseudoxanthoma elasticum - also a microvascular disease.

Conclusions: This study firstly describes the pattern of nailfold capillaries in PXE. Capillaries are highly pathological and consist of ramifications and bushy forms as well as dilatations. Frequently, tortuous capillaries, pericapillary edema and reduced denseness of capillary loops occur. Frequency of atypical capillaries is negatively correlated with vital capacity which can be interpreted as further lead on restrictive lung disease.
