Anetoderma is characterized clinically by small, atrophic papules that herniate inward at palpation and histopathologically by the loss of dermal elastic tissue.[[1]] Although frequently associated with different diseases (secondary anetoderma) (SA), the primary one is relatively scarce.[2] Moreover, anetoderma in the dark skin has only been reported very rarely, probably due to the lack of dermatologists in Africa.[3] Therefore, we report a case of an African 4-year-old girl with primary anetoderma (PA) highlighting the presence of dermatological diseases in phototype V-VI.

Orcein staining of lesioned skin revealed a significant reduction of elastic fibers within the dermis (Figure 1D, F). [Extracted from the article]
