Abstract:
Anetoderma is a rare cutaneous disorder characterized by circumscribed loss of skin elasticity. This has been historically divided into inflammatory(Jadassohn-Pellizzari) and non-inflammatory(Schw eninger-Buzzi) type. We herein, report a case of Schweninger-Buzzi type anetoderma occurring on a 6 year-old girl. The lesions did not have an inflammatory onset. Histologically, the focal loss of elastic fibers was seen on the lesion.
