Unusual and recently described cutaneous atrophic disorders

Abstract: Cutaneous atrophic conditions are typically caused by changes in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue, sometimes consisting of the loss of a single fiber type. Since a significant decrease of subepidermal tissue is necessary for these lesions to be macroscopically atrophic, many conditions may not be appreciated as atrophy in the clinical setting. Clinicians should be familiar with the common or classic disorders causing cutaneous atrophy; however, there are a few new or rarely described atrophic conditions which… Show more

“…The previously demonstrated finding of abnormal collagen fibrils in Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome 16,17 could be supported by this technique with more irregular architecture of dermal fibers in our patient. The irregular dermal fibers are probably a part of the syndrome per se 25,33 . The architecture of the dermis also differed in the patient with idiopathic dysmotility and overweight.…”

“…The histologic descriptions are nonspecific and include: follicular plugging; compact hyperkeratosis of the infundibulum and isthmus of the follicle with accompanying hypergranulosis; destruction of the follicular wall with variable degrees of perifollicular inflammation, usually composed of lymphocytes, but sometimes histiocytes, plasma cells, and neutrophils; concentric perifollicular fibrosis and atrophic hair follicles. Images from at least some reports show changes of an interface dermatitis with vacuolar alteration of the basilar layer . The lack of histologic specificity may be due to the stage of disease biopsied, reliance on vertical sectioning, or sampling error.…”

“…The reported histologic descriptions 2,7,8,11,13,25,26,32,34,35,38,42‐44 of the KPA entities are often vague and nonspecific, but in some cases clearly represent LF (Figures and ). Descriptions are all based on individual case reports or small case series.…”

“…The differential diagnoses mainly include anetoderma, mid-dermal elastolysis, focal dermal hypoplasia, lupus panniculitis, and localized scleroderma. Based on their clinical and histological features,[ 2 3 4 5 ] making a correct diagnosis is not difficult.…”
