“…We noticed good results at the A B C In eight cases the process was confined to the face and was not preceded by any inflammatory phase [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The present patient would be the ninth case with such characteristics to date ( Table 1).…”

“…Cutis laxa refers to a heterogeneous group of diseases with a characteristic clinical appearance of premature aging. These conditions are distinguished by the age of onset of dermatologic signs whether congenital or acquired, extension of cutaneous involvement, presence of systemic compromise, and pattern of inheritance (Riveros et al, 2004). There have been a few reports of acquired form of disease associated with multiple myeloma and furthermore there are only 2 reported cases of myeloma associated with the acral localized type (Appiah et al, 2008).…”

“…Autosomal dominant form is a relatively benign with largely skin manifestations and few complications; and as a rare X-linked recessive variant (Banks et al, 2003;Ozsoy et al, 2007;Morava et al, 2009). Patients with either the recessive or dominant forms have characteristic faces with a hooked nose, everted nostrils and a long upper lip (Riveros et al, 2004;Appiah et al, 2008).…”

Cutis laxa is an uncommon disorder characterized clinically laxitiy of the skin, which hangs in loose folds, by the loss of dermal elastic tissue. We report a case only neck localized of cutis laxa that no systemic involvement was diagnosed. The skin laxity was preceded by episodes of itching and swelling on her neck. When the patient applied to our clinic, she was considered as a case of localized cutis laxa, and the patient was recovered by neck lift operation. Histopathology showed that the elastic fibers were lost in the skin areas of cutis laxa and decreased in adjacent skin. The pathogenetic relationship with any other disorder or intake of related drug could not found.J. Exp. Clin. Med., 2011; 28:31-32 © 2011 OMU All rights reserved IntroductionA rarely reported cutaneous change is acquired cutis laxa, either as a generalized or localized process. Cutis laxa, also called elastolysis, presents with soft redundant folds of skin that are inelastic, and histology shows sparse, short and fragmented elastic fibres. We present a 23-year-old woman with neck localized cutis laxa. In our case skin biopsies were taken and histopathologic examination revealed that dermal elastic fibers were markedly decreased. These pathologic findings were compatible with cutis laxa. The clinical findings suggested to the localized type of the desease.

“…Congenital cutis laxa is a rare inherited disease that is characterized by inelastic, loose, pendulous skin, which gives the appearance of premature aging 8 . The cutaneous changes may be present at birth or may occur during infancy with severe pulmonary and cardiovascular involvements 9 . In addition, histopathological features of congenital cutis laxa show a loss or fragmentation of elastic fibers, in contrast to normal histological findings in cutis pleonasmus.…”

In 2005, Kreidstein first proposed the term "Cutis pleonasmus," a Greek term meaning "redundancy," which refers to the excessive skin that remains after massive weight loss. Cutis pleonasmus is clearly distinguishable from other diseases showing increased laxity of the skin, such as pseudoxanthoma elasticum, congenital and acquired generalized cutis laxa. Although individuals who are severely overweight are few and bariatric surgeries are less common in Korea than in the West, the number of these patients is increasing due to changes to Western life styles. We report a case for a 24-year-old man who presented with generalized lax and loose skin after massive weight loss. He was diagnosed with cutis pleonasmus based on the history of great weight loss, characteristic clinical features and normal histological findings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of cutis pleonasmus in Korea.
