liver spot
has glosseng: Liver spots (also known as "Solar lentigo", , "Old age spot," ) are blemishes on the skin associated with ageing and exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. They are also known as age spots, sun spots, lentigos, or senile/solar lentigines. They range in color from light brown to red or black and are located in areas most often exposed to the sun, particularly the hands, face, shoulders, arms and forehead, and the head if bald. Liver spots are not related to the liver physiologically, but do have a similar color. It was once believed, incorrectly, that liver spots were due to liver problems.

Meaning
German
has glossdeu: Altersflecken (lateinisch: Lentigines seniles, Lentigines solares) sind Pigmentstörungen der Haut. Sie entstehen durch vermehrte, chronische Exposition gegenüber ultravioletter Strahlung, z. B. Sonnenlicht. Dabei kommt es zu lokalen, scharf begrenzten hellbraunen Fleckbildungen („Makulae“) mit Vermehrung der melaninproduzierenden Melanozyten, überwiegend im Bereich der Handrücken, Unterarme und Gesichtshaut. Bei den Flecken handelt es sich konkret um Anhäufungen des bräunlich-wachsartigen Pigments Lipofuscin (auch Alters- oder Abnutzungspigment), welches als Endprodukt aus der Oxidation von ungesättigten Fettsäuren der Zellmembranen entsteht. Die Lysosomen sind nicht mehr imstande, den Stoff völlig abzubauen. So bleibt er als Fleck zurück.
