Anetoderma of Jadassohn-Pellizzari

This code represents a rare, benign, localized skin condition characterized by circumscribed areas of flaccid, wrinkled, atrophic skin resulting from the loss of dermal elastic tissue. It typically presents as oval or round depressions, often described as "sac-like" or "herniated" lesions, due to the underlying tissue defect.

Apply this code when documentation specifically identifies "Anetoderma of Jadassohn-Pellizzari" or "Jadassohn-Pellizzari anetoderma." This diagnosis is usually made clinically, often confirmed by biopsy showing a reduction or absence of elastic fibers in the dermis. Use this code for both primary and secondary forms of the condition.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "Jadassohn-Pellizzari" to differentiate from other forms of anetoderma.
• Do not confuse with other atrophic skin conditions unless explicitly diagnosed as anetoderma.
• Code any associated underlying conditions (e.g., autoimmune diseases, infections) separately.
