title: Familial anetoderma.
abstract: Two families with anetoderma are described. Unlike previous reports of familial anetoderma, the disease process seemed to be limited to the skin, and there were no associated ocular, gastrointestinal, or orthopedic anomalies in the affected patients or in any other family members. Although infrequently reported, anetoderma may occur in families, and patients must be examined for associated systemic abnormalities for a thorough assessment of their skin disorder.
