Anetoderma

Anetoderma is a localized laxity of the skin with herniation or outpouching resulting from abnormal dermal elastic tissue. Anetoderma comes in three types:

• Primary anetoderma
  • Jadassohn–Pellizzari anetoderma is a benign condition with focal loss of dermal elastic tissue. 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.
  • Schweninger–Buzzi anetoderma is a cutaneous condition characterized by loss of dermal elastic tissue.
• Secondary anetoderma
• Familial anetoderma
