Circumscribed lenticular anetoderma in an HIV-infected man with a history of syphilis and lichen planus. (1/3)
Anetoderma is an uncommon dermatosis that manifests as discrete foci of well-circumscribed, atrophic skin. The condition can be idiopathic or can be secondary to a number of associated cutaneous diseases. Whereas the pathophysiologic mechanisms remain unknown, anetoderma results from diminished elastic fibers in the dermis. We present an unusual case of localized, lenticular anetoderma in a man with HIV, a history of syphilis, and lichen planus. Both of these infections have been associated with anetoderma. Although his lesions are vaguely reminiscent of a variant of syphilitic anetoderma described in the 1930s, they are confined to a smaller anatomic distribution, differ in size, and have a papular appearance. As anetoderma can develop in the context of infectious disease, a diagnosis of anetoderma should trigger a thorough examination and evaluation for treatable concomitant illnesses.

There are numerous acquired disorders of elastic tissue that are distinguished by a combination of clinical appearance, location, gender, age of onset, and characteristic histopathologic findings. We present a case of a 36-year-old man with multiple confluent, hypopigmented papules that coalesced into plaques with prominent follicular ostia over the dorsal aspects of the forearms, shoulders, upper chest, and upper back. Histologically there was selective loss of papillary dermal elastic fibers. The clinical and histopathologic findings in this case are consistent with an acquired disorder of elastic tissue which we believe represents the second reported case of papillary dermal elastosis.

Anetoderma is an elastolytic disorder that is associated with a number of infectious and autoimmune disorders. We present a case of a patient with generalized anetoderma, who was later found to have positive antinuclear antibodies and antiphospholipid antibodies (APAs). Numerous other cases have been reported in literature and some authors have suggested that anetoderma is a highly specific sign of APAs, with or without other manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus or antiphospholipid syndrome [14]. Thus, work up for connective-tissue disorders should be considered in any patients who present with this skin finding. (+info)Anetoderma is a medical condition that affects the skin. It is characterized by small, depressed areas on the skin that have lost their elasticity and appear thinned out or atrophied. The term "anetoderma" comes from the Greek words "ana," meaning again, and "derma," meaning skin.
In anetoderma, the normal structure of the skin is disrupted, resulting in a loss of collagen and elastic fibers in the dermis. This leads to the formation of well-circumscribed, depressed lesions that can range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters in diameter. The lesions may be smooth, wrinkled, or have a dimpled appearance, and they may be skin-colored, red, or hyperpigmented.
Anetoderma can affect people of any age, but it is most commonly seen in middle-aged women. The exact cause of anetoderma is not known, but it is thought to be related to autoimmune disorders, infections, and certain medications. In some cases, the condition may be associated with other medical conditions such as lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, or Sjogren's syndrome.
There is no cure for anetoderma, but treatment options are available to help manage the symptoms and improve the appearance of the skin. These may include topical creams or ointments, laser therapy, or surgical excision of the lesions. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Lichen Planus is a chronic, autoimmune skin condition that can also affect the mucous membranes inside the mouth, genitals, and eyes. It is characterized by the appearance of purplish, flat-topped bumps or lesions on the skin, which may be itchy. The exact cause of Lichen Planus is unknown, but it is believed to occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks cells in the skin or mucous membranes. Certain medications, viral infections, and genetic factors may increase the risk of developing this condition. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and may include topical corticosteroids, oral medications, or light therapy.
Elastic tissue is a type of connective tissue found in the body that is capable of returning to its original shape after being stretched or deformed. It is composed mainly of elastin fibers, which are protein molecules with a unique structure that allows them to stretch and recoil. Elastic tissue is found in many areas of the body, including the lungs, blood vessels, and skin, where it provides flexibility and resilience.
The elastin fibers in elastic tissue are intertwined with other types of connective tissue fibers, such as collagen, which provide strength and support. The combination of these fibers allows elastic tissue to stretch and recoil efficiently, enabling organs and tissues to function properly. For example, the elasticity of lung tissue allows the lungs to expand and contract during breathing, while the elasticity of blood vessels helps maintain blood flow and pressure.
Elastic tissue can become less flexible and resilient with age or due to certain medical conditions, such as emphysema or Marfan syndrome. This can lead to a variety of health problems, including respiratory difficulties, cardiovascular disease, and skin sagging.
Skin diseases, also known as dermatological conditions, refer to any medical condition that affects the skin, which is the largest organ of the human body. These diseases can affect the skin's function, appearance, or overall health. They can be caused by various factors, including genetics, infections, allergies, environmental factors, and aging.
Skin diseases can present in many different forms, such as rashes, blisters, sores, discolorations, growths, or changes in texture. Some common examples of skin diseases include acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, fungal infections, viral infections, bacterial infections, and skin cancer.
The symptoms and severity of skin diseases can vary widely depending on the specific condition and individual factors. Some skin diseases are mild and can be treated with over-the-counter medications or topical creams, while others may require more intensive treatments such as prescription medications, light therapy, or even surgery.
It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any unusual or persistent changes in your skin, as some skin diseases can be serious or indicative of other underlying health conditions. A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases.

Familial4
- Secondary anetoderma Familial anetoderma List of cutaneous conditions Rapini, Ronald P. (wikipedia.org)
- A familial form that manifests as primary anetoderma has also been described. (medscape.com)
- Familial anetoderma is uncommon, with only 13 families reported in the literature. (medscape.com)
- Familial anetoderma. (medscape.com)
Jadassohn-Pellizzari4
- Anetoderma comes in three types: Primary anetoderma Jadassohn-Pellizzari anetoderma is a benign condition with focal loss of dermal elastic tissue. (wikipedia.org)
- Jadassohn-Pellizzari is one of two major classifications of primary anetoderma, the other being Schweninger-Buzzi anetoderma. (wikipedia.org)
- The difference between the two is that Jadassohn-Pellizzari anetoderma is preceded by inflammatory lesions. (wikipedia.org)
- Historically, idiopathic lesions of anetoderma were classified clinically as either inflammatory (Jadassohn-Pellizzari type) or non-inflammatory (Schweninger-Buzzi type), although both types of lesions may be found in the same patient. (jcadonline.com)
Lesions2
- Currently, anetoderma is classified as either primary anetoderma, which is an idiopathic occurrence of atrophic lesions in areas of skin that appear normal prior to the onset of atrophy, or secondary anetoderma, which is preceded by an inflammatory, autoimmune, infectious, or neoplastic process. (medscape.com)
- Interestingly, there is no concordance between the clinical and pathological findings in these two groups, as peri-vascular infiltration of inflammatory cells is present in all anetoderma lesions no matter the clinical appearance. (jcadonline.com)
Atrophic1
- Anetoderma is a rare, benign disorder characterized microscopically by the pan-dermal loss of elastic fibers in the dermis and presenting clinically as circumscribed, skin-colored or grey-white atrophic macules and/or patches on the trunk and/or extremities. (jcadonline.com)
Idiopathic1
- Furthermore, a 2016 study involving nine patients with idiopathic anetoderma found that the dermal expression of fibulin-4 (which binds tropoelastin and is involved in various aspects of elastic fiber development) was significantly decreased in anetoderma when compared with healthy controls. (medscape.com)
Secondary4
- The exact incidence of anetoderma is unknown, but secondary anetoderma is probably more common than the primary form. (medscape.com)
- This article will review a case of generalized anetoderma in a patient with secondary syphilis after being treated with intravenous penicillin, along with a concise literature review. (jcadonline.com)
- Thus, the clinical findings in conjunction with microscopic analysis and negative blood examination confirmed a diagnosis of anetoderma in the setting of HIV and secondary syphilis. (jcadonline.com)
- A secondary anetoderma can sometimes form after acne. (dermnetnz.org)

- Anetoderma ( anetos, Greek for slack) is a benign condition with focal loss of dermal elastic tissue, resulting in localized areas of flaccid or herniated saclike skin. (medscape.com)
Primary3
- For primary anetoderma, patients need periodic reevaluation for associated conditions not initially manifested. (medscape.com)
- Primary anetoderma occurs slightly more frequently in women than in men. (medscape.com)
