Anetoderma in the Setting of a Hematologic Abnormality and COVID-19 Infection

Anetoderma is an uncommonly reported dermatosis clinically characterized by discrete skin lesions resulting from elastic fiber loss within the dermis. Although primary anetoderma has been considered idiopathic, a range of associated disorders, particularly prothrombotic abnormalities, have been reported. We present a 79-year-old woman with a heterozygous Factor V Leiden mutation who developed anetoderma shortly after COVID-19 infection complicated by a thromboembolic event. Our patient adds to the literature on the occurrence of anetoderma in the setting of infection and/or a prothrombotic disorder.
