Anetoderma, the Glossary

Anetoderma is a benign but uncommon disorder that causes localized areas of flaccid or herniated sac-like skin due to a focal reduction of dermal elastic tissue.^[1]

Abnormalities of dermal fibrous and elastic tissue

Acne

Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a long-term skin condition that occurs when dead skin cells and oil from the skin clog hair follicles.

See Anetoderma and Acne

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups.

See Anetoderma and Amino acid

Antiphospholipid syndrome

Antiphospholipid syndrome, or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS or APLS), is an autoimmune, hypercoagulable state caused by antiphospholipid antibodies.

See Anetoderma and Antiphospholipid syndrome

Arthropod bites and stings

Many species of arthropods (insects, arachnids, millipedes and centipedes) can bite or sting human beings.

See Anetoderma and Arthropod bites and stings

Atrophoderma

Atrophoderma refers to conditions involving thinning of skin.

See Anetoderma and Atrophoderma

Atrophy

Atrophy is the partial or complete wasting away of a part of the body.

See Anetoderma and Atrophy

Birth defect

A birth defect, also known as a congenital disorder, is an abnormal condition that is present at birth regardless of its cause.

See Anetoderma and Birth defect

Desmosine

Desmosine is an amino acid found uniquely in elastin, a protein found in connective tissue such as skin, lungs, and elastic arteries.

See Anetoderma and Desmosine

Elastic fibers (or yellow fibers) are an essential component of the extracellular matrix composed of bundles of proteins (elastin) which are produced by a number of different cell types including fibroblasts, endothelial, smooth muscle, and airway epithelial cells.

See Anetoderma and Elastic fiber

Elastin

Elastin is a protein encoded by the ELN gene in humans.

See Anetoderma and Elastin

Electrocardiography

Electrocardiography is the process of producing an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), a recording of the heart's electrical activity through repeated cardiac cycles.

See Anetoderma and Electrocardiography

Electron microscope

An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of electrons as a source of illumination.

See Anetoderma and Electron microscope

Epidermis

The epidermis is the outermost of the three layers that comprise the skin, the inner layers being the dermis and hypodermis.

See Anetoderma and Epidermis

Erythema

Erythema is redness of the skin or mucous membranes, caused by hyperemia (increased blood flow) in superficial capillaries.

See Anetoderma and Erythema

Granuloma annulare

Granuloma annulare (GA) is a rare, sometimes chronic skin condition which presents as reddish bumps on the skin arranged in a circle or ring.

See Anetoderma and Granuloma annulare

Histiocyte

A histiocyte is a vertebrate cell that is part of the mononuclear phagocyte system (also known as the reticuloendothelial system or lymphoreticular system).

See Anetoderma and Histiocyte

Histopathology

Histopathology (compound of three Greek words: ἱστός histos 'tissue', πάθος pathos 'suffering', and -λογία -logia 'study of') is the microscopic examination of tissue in order to study the manifestations of disease.

See Anetoderma and Histopathology

Iatrogenesis

Iatrogenesis is the causation of a disease, a harmful complication, or other ill effect by any medical activity, including diagnosis, intervention, error, or negligence.

See Anetoderma and Iatrogenesis

Leprosy

Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease (HD), is a long-term infection by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae or Mycobacterium lepromatosis.

See Anetoderma and Leprosy

List of skin conditions

Many skin conditions affect the human integumentary system—the organ system covering the entire surface of the body and composed of skin, hair, nails, and related muscle and glands.

See Anetoderma and List of skin conditions

Microscope

A microscope is a laboratory instrument used to examine objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye.

See Anetoderma and Microscope

Penicillamine

Penicillamine, sold under the brand name of Cuprimine among others, is a medication primarily used for the treatment of Wilson's disease.

See Anetoderma and Penicillamine

Plasma cell

Plasma cells, also called plasma B cells or effector B cells, are white blood cells that originate in the lymphoid organs as B cells and secrete large quantities of proteins called antibodies in response to being presented specific substances called antigens.

See Anetoderma and Plasma cell

Skin biopsy

Skin biopsy is a biopsy technique in which a skin lesion is removed to be sent to a pathologist to render a microscopic diagnosis.

See Anetoderma and Skin biopsy

Skin condition

A skin condition, also known as cutaneous condition, is any medical condition that affects the integumentary system—the organ system that encloses the body and includes skin, nails, and related muscle and glands.

See Anetoderma and Skin condition

Syphilis

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum.

See Anetoderma and Syphilis

Urticaria pigmentosa

Urticaria pigmentosa (also known as generalized eruption of cutaneous mastocytosis (childhood type)James, William; Berger, Timothy; Elston, Dirk (2005). Andrews' Diseases of the Skin: Clinical Dermatology. (10th ed.). Saunders..) is the most common form of cutaneous mastocytosis.

See Anetoderma and Urticaria pigmentosa

Wilson's disease

Wilson's disease (also called Hepatolenticular degeneration) is a genetic disorder characterized by the excess build-up of copper in the body.

See Anetoderma and Wilson's disease
