Atrophoderma elastolytica discreta.
Atrophoderma elastolytica discreta is the clinicopathologic name for a unique entity herein first described in a patient with cutaneous lesions simulating atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini but coupled with histopathologic changes of anetoderma. The clinical and histological findings seen here have not been previously seen in the many variants of anetoderma, and, as such, they are sui generis evidence of a new entity in clinical dermatology.
