What is another word for elastosis?
Pronunciation: [ɪlastˈə͡ʊsɪs] (IPA) 
Elastosis is a medical condition in which excessive amounts of elastin are produced causing the skin to become less elastic. There are a few different synonyms that can be used to refer to this condition including elastotic degeneration, elastofibroma, and elastoma. Elastotic degeneration is the process by which the elastin fibers in the skin break down, resulting in a loss of elasticity. Elastofibroma is a benign tumor that typically occurs in the soft tissue of the shoulder blade. Elastoma, on the other hand, is a rare skin condition characterized by hardened nodules formed from elastin fibers. Regardless of the term used, elastosis is a serious condition that can be caused by a variety of factors and should be evaluated by a medical professional.
