Summary

Anetoderma Erythematosa Jadas-Sohni is a rare skin condition characterized by three clinical stages: inflammation (red spot), atrophy (red disk with central atrophy), and hernia-like protrusions that depress upon palpation. Histologically, it involves elastin destruction preceded by vascular dilation and chronic inflammatory infiltrate, with possible etiological factors including intrauterine hypertension, tuberculosis, trophoneurotic conditions, and endocrine factors.

ANETODERMIA ERYTHEMATOSA JADAS-SOHNI (Jadassohn), idiopathic macular atrophy of the skin (atrophia cutis maculosa); sometimes instead of a spot, the primary element may be a papule. Clinically, three stages are distinguished: 1) inflammation (red spot), 2) atrophy (red disk with central atrophy) and 3) hernia-like limited protrusions, which are depressed upon palpation. Histologically, destruction of elastin is noted, which is preceded by dilation of blood vessels and chronic inflammatory infiltrate. Etiology - increased intrauterine pressure (Oppenheim), tuberculous, trophoneurotic and endocrine factors.
