The coexistence of a pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE)-like syndrome in beta-thalassemia and other hemoglobinopathies is a recently established clinical entity that has been observed with a significant frequency and related to some severe, even life-threatening complications. We present here a thalassemia intermedia patient who developed unstable angina in a setting of severe anemia and PXE-related coronary arterial calcification. Besides the clinical significance of this PXE-like syndrome, its acquired nature may introduce some new thoughts regarding the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
