Overview

Anetoderma (also known as “Anetoderma maculosa,”^[1] “Anetoderma maculosa cutis,”^[1] “Atrophia maculosa cutis,”^[1] and “Macular atrophy”^[2]) is a localized laxity of the skin with herniation or outpouching resulting from abnormal dermal elastic tissue.^[2]

Classification

Anetoderma comes in three types:

Primary anetoderma
- Jadassohn–Pellizzari anetoderma is a benign condition with focal loss of dermal elastic tissue.^[3] Jadassohn-Pellizzari is one of two major classifications of primary anetoderma, the other being Schweninger–Buzzi anetoderma. The difference between the two is that Jadassohn–Pellizzari anetoderma is preceded by inflammatory lesions.^[1]
- Schweninger–Buzzi anetoderma is a cutaneous condition characterized by loss of dermal elastic tissue.^[1]
Secondary anetoderma
Familial anetoderma
