Article Synopsis
- - Anetoderma, or macular atrophy, is a rare skin condition marked by the loss of elastic fibers in the dermis, causing soft, skin-colored or gray-white patches on the trunk and extremities that may bulge when touched.
- - It can be classified as primary (idiopathic) or secondary, with primary occurring on normal skin and secondary developing after skin damage; both types may be connected to other medical conditions.
- - There are currently no effective treatments for anetoderma, but an unusual case is reported where generalized anetoderma occurred alongside secondary syphilis, successfully treated with benzathine penicillin injections.
Lupus erythematosus: Significance of dermatologic findings.

Herein, the different skin manifestations in patients with lupus erythematosus are reviewed, and their diagnostic, pathogenic and prognostic relevance are discussed, as well as their impact on therapeutic choices. The so-called specific lesions of LE result from an autoimmune pathomechanism and they allow diagnosis of LE by simple clinicopathological correlation since the findings are characteristic. They include the classic acute, subacute and chronic variants, characterised microscopically by interface dermatitis; the dermal variants of lupus, such as tumid lupus, displaying dermal perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate with mucin deposition under the microscope, and lupus profundus, in which lymphocytic lobular panniculitis progressing to hyaline fibrosis is found.

Cutaneous Elastic Tissue Anomalies.

After a review of the physiology in the formation and degradation of cutaneous elastic tissue, we describe the clinicopathologic disorders characterized by increased and decreased cutaneous elastic tissue. Cutaneous disorders characterized by increased and/or abnormal elastic tissue in the dermis include elastoma, also named nevus elasticus, dermatosis lenticularis disseminata, pseudoxanthoma elasticum, late-onset focal dermal elastosis, linear focal elastosis, elastoderma, elastofibroma dorsi, and elastosis perforans serpiginosa. In some of these conditions, the specific histopathologic diagnosis may be rendered with hematoxylin-eosin stain, whereas in other ones special elastic tissue stains are necessary to demonstrate the anomalies.
