“…1 A few cases of anetoderma after generalized granuloma annulare have been reported which describe lesions located on the trunk and/or extremities. [2][3][4] Interestingly, facial lesions have not been previously described, so our case shows an unreported location. The differential diagnosis includes elastolytic giant cell granuloma.…”

“…Primary anetoderma can be a precursor of autoimmune disorders and a marker for prothrombotic conditions like anti-phospholipid syndrome [7], [9], [10]. Secondary anetoderma has been reported after granuloma annulare [11], secondary syphilis [12], pilomatricoma [13], and bullous Sweet syndrome [14]. Acquired anetoderma following folliculitis is known in patients with Down syndrome [15].…”

BACKGROUND: Anetodermas are rare disorders of connective tissue with a focal loss of elastic fibres in the upper and mid dermis. Two types are separated, inflammatory and non-inflammatory. CASE REPORTS: We report two cases of acquired anetoderma Schweniger-Buzzi type. This non-inflammatory subtype is characterised by skin-coloured or whitish atrophic sac-like protrusions of trunk skin in adult males. Chronic infections and autoimmune disorders have been excluded. The diagnosis had been confirmed by characteristic histopathology. CONCLUSIONS: Anetodermas are symptomless disorders. They can be easily overlooked. The knowledge of such conditions is of importance to identify patients with a risk of thromboembolic events and underlying infections or autoimmune connective tissue diseases.

“…Anetoderma ( anetos , Greek for slack), also known as macular atrophy, is a rare elastolytic disorder characterized by circumscribed areas of flaccid skin due to focal loss of dermal elastic tissue, resulting in normochromic or erythematous papules and plaques with a wrinkled and atrophic surface . Older lesions may form soft sack‐like projections, which yield on pressure .…”

Anetoderma is a rare cutaneous disorder characterized by focal loss of dermal elastic tissue due to unknown mechanisms. Primary anetoderma develops on clinical normal skin, without any preceding dermatosis and it can be associated with autoimmune conditions. Secondary anetoderma develops on the same area of a previous disorder, such as infectious, neoplastic or inflammatory diseases. A 37-year-old female patient noticed for 4 years circumscribed, normochromic, asymptomatic herniated plaques on the trunk and upper limbs. Family history was negative. Only a positive antinuclear factor (ANF) test, with titer of 1:160 and nuclear homogeneous pattern was found. Light microscopy with Weigert staining showed a lessening of elastic fibers with fragmentation; the oxytalanic fibers were also affected or absent. Transmission electron microscopy showed fragmentation and granular degeneration of elastic fibers. With greater magnification, fragments similar to those seen with optical microscopy were identified. The collagen fibers did not present any alteration. The examination of the dermis with scanning electron microscopy also identified fragmentation and significant fissures of the elastic tissue, granular degeneration was also observed. With greater magnification fragmented elastic fibers were seen.
