Cases of Anetoderma in Practice of Dermatologists

Abstract

Clinical observations of atrophic skin of a child at the age of 1 year 7 months with Bleggad-Haxsthausen syndrome, as well as three forms of an anetoderma (Jadassona-Tibierga, Schweninger-Buzzi and Pelizzari) are presented. All patients are male at the age of 14, 16 and 18 years. The 14-year-old boy has the disease during seven years, while the duration of the other patients is two and one year, respectively. Patient with Schweninger-Buzzi anetoderma received treatment in a hospital without visible improvement. The literature review also noted that the disease can develop both primary and secondary. There are three stages of development of Jadasso--Tibiere anderodermia, the first of which is represented by the erythematous spot. However, inflammatory changes may be absent, but for other forms they are generally uncharacteristic: atrophy develops immediately, then wrinkled skin is protruding.
