Abstract
Penicillamine dermatopathy refers to the characteristic hemorrhagic skin lesions found in persons receiving long-term penicillamine therapy for either Wilson's disease or cystinuria. These lesions are thought to develop as a result of faulty collagen and elastin synthesis. We described a 31-year-old woman with Wilson's disease who developed mild pruritic grouped matchhead-sized cream-colored papules on the dark reddish plaques on both knees and elbows.
