Anetoderma of Jadassohn-Pellizzari.
Anetoderma (derived from the Greek anetos, meaning slack) is a term used to describe localized increased laxity of the skin with herniation or outpouching, resulting from abnormal dermal elastic tissue. Primary anetoderma is distinctly rare. We describe a case where we suspect an auto-immune aetiology.
