Abstract
Anetoderma is a rare skin condition occurring with flaccid-herniated lesions on the skin, always histologically characterized by the focal loss of elastic fibers.
Primary Anetoderma can be of inflammatory type (Jadassohn-Pellizzari) or non inflammatory type (Schweninger-Buzzi). Treatments are apparently useless.
The Italian Author who first described inflammatory anetoderma (Celso Pellizzari) directed in the years 1906–1920 in Florence the same University Dermatology Institute directed by the first author of this chapter in 2005–2010 (Torello Lotti).
Secondary anetoderma may be related to infectious, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases which need specific treatments. Secondary anetoderma can be drug induced and tumor-associated.
