A rare case of anetoderma, a skin disorder causing pale spots, is reported in a 21-year-old man following hepatitis B vaccination. This finding suggests a potential link between the vaccine and this unusual dermatological condition.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Anetoderma is an elastolytic skin disorder with an unknown etiology.
  • Secondary anetoderma is rare, with only one prior report linked to hepatitis B immunization in siblings.

Observation:

  • A 21-year-old male presented with a 6-year history of gradually developing asymptomatic white spots and papules on his neck, upper limbs, and trunk.
  • Initial lesions were erythematous macules that enlarged and became pale.
  • Skin biopsy showed a normal epidermis and dermal mononuclear infiltrate.

Findings:

  • This case presents anetoderma potentially secondary to hepatitis B vaccination, occurring two weeks prior to the onset of skin lesions.
  • Other causes of anetoderma were excluded.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • This case adds to the limited literature associating hepatitis B vaccination with secondary anetoderma.
  • Further investigation may be warranted to explore the immunopathological mechanisms linking hepatitis B vaccination to elastolytic disorders.
