title: [Anetoderma Schwenninger-Buzzi in a dark-skinned patient].
abstract: A 10-year-old boy in Uganda developed primary anetoderma (Schwenninger-Buzzi). It is important not to confuse anetoderma with BL leprosy in spite of some superficial resemblance of the two diseases. Primary anetoderma is probably extremely rare in patients with dark skin although this may partly be due to a lack of dermatologists in Africa who could diagnose the disease.
