“…On the other hand, our cases and another eight families did not have any abnormalities in such tissues. Although the mode of inheritance of familial anetoderma had been once considered as autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive, previous and our cases display various genetic forms, such as between siblings or parents to children, which cannot be explained by a single mode of inheritance. Thus, familial anetoderma may be caused by an interaction between environmental factors and genetic predispositions …”

“…Thus, familial anetoderma may be caused by an interaction between environmental factors and genetic predispositions. 9,10 In conclusion, we report a first case of Japanese familial anetoderma with an atypical presentation. In cases with atypical clinical presentations, histopathological findings and clinical course are helpful for the diagnosis of anetoderma.…”

Anetoderma is a rare cutaneous disorder characterized by focal loss of dermal elastic tissue, resulting in macular atrophy or herniated saclike skin. Some families with hereditary anetoderma have been described, but there have been no reports on Japanese familial anetoderma so far. We herein report two Japanese sibling cases of primary anetoderma. A healthy 13‐year‐old Japanese girl and a healthy 15‐year‐old Japanese girl presented to our hospital with a 6‐month history of small atrophic pittings on their arms and trunks. All lesions were less than 0.5 cm in diameter, which are relatively small for non‐familial anetoderma. Preceding infections or skin lesions were not observed. A skin biopsy revealed a focal, complete loss of elastic tissue in the superficial to mid‐dermis which was surrounded by fine, irregular or twisted elastic fibers. Based on these findings, the diagnosis of anetoderma was made. Review of published works demonstrated that the mode of inheritance of familial anetoderma is not simple, suggesting that it is important to survey any family member of the patients with anetoderma.

“…In familial anetoderma, there were associated ocular, gastrointestinal or orthopedic anomalies in the affected patients or in any other family members, but causes without them have been reported [8]. Although isolated and perhaps coincidental, these abnormalities could be related to the same process that produces the lesions of anetoderma [3].…”

“…It has been suggested that deficiency of elastin in the dermis may lead to development of the eutaneous lesions of anetoderma [9]. Primary anetoderma occurs either as idiopathic disease or associated with various dermatologic or systemic disorders, and also as a manifestation in various clinical syndromes (Table 1) [1,7,10].…”

“…The disease was described many years ago [4][5][6]. A familial preference has been reported [7]. While anetoderma lesions may occur seeondary to several diseases, such as acne vulgaris, varicella, plaque stage of mycosis fungoidcs, and aerodcrmatitis chronica atrophieans [8], the etiology of primary anetoderma is still unknown.…”

Anctoderma is a rare disease of unknown etiology, today classified as a subtype of the eircumseribed elastotic disorders. The elinical picture shows atrophic patches loeated mainly on the upper trunk which characteristically give the palpating finger the sensation of a hernial orifiee. Our patient with primary idiopathic anctoderma presented a rarely reported concomitance of the inflammatory type of lesions described by Jadassohn and Peliizzari together with the non-inflammatory Schweninger-Buzzi type. Histologieally and ultrastrueturally, both kinds of lesions revealed similar pictures with a scanty perivascular lymphomononuclear cell infiltrate, with rarefied, partly fragmented elastic fibres and normal eollagen fibrils. These findings indicate that these two types of lesions represent different stages of the same disease and not a simple assoeiation. Furthermore, they support the opinion that the elassification of anetoderma into two separate Jadassohn-Pellizzari and Schweninger-Buzzi types may be unnecessary. After treatment with orai tetraeyciine 1 g/day for 3 weeks, no new lesions appeared; however, no improvement of the already present lesions occurred during a 6-month foilow-up period.
