Abstract
Anetoderma is an elastolytic disorder characterized by dermal lesions consisting in circumscribed areas of normally depressed and wrinkled flaccid skin. The primary form is most frequently associated with autoimmune diseases, especially in the presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies. The secondary form refers to cases that occur on other pre-existing skin diseases. Possible triggers are considered to be infectious, inflammatory or autoimmune diseases.
