Cutis laxa is an inherited or acquired disease characterized by redundant, sagging and inelastic skin. In inherited cutis laxa an abnormal synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins occurs due to genetic defects coding for diverse extracellular matrix components.

Postinflammatory cutis laxa in a child [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2020 A previously healthy 4-year-old girl presented with excessive wrinkling of the skin of the face, neck, upper trunk and extremities. The girl had recurrent episodes of itchy, reddish, round erythematous plaques, which initially appeared over the face and slowly progressed to affect the extremities and the upper trunk.

Generalized elastolysis (cutis laxa) [PDF]
The American Journal of Medicine, 1978 Generalized elastolysis is a rare and unique systemic disorder of connective tissue in which the elastic fibers suddenly become fragmented, disorganized and fewer in number with the resultant production of such entities as cutis laxa, emphysema, aortic aneurysms and bowel diverticula appearing in the organ system involved, that is, skin, lung ...

Congenital Cutis Laxa and Osteoporosis [PDF]
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1983 A 16-month-old male infant was studied who had a syndrome of cutis laxa and incapacitating osteoporosis. The bones displayed evidence of multiple fractures, with impaction and deformities even in the absence of weight bearing. In addition, the infant had large ears and antimongoloid obliquity of the palpebral fissures.

We have encountered 2 cases (mother and son) with an autosomal dominant form of cutis laxa, which is clinically characterized by inelastic, loose, and pendulous skin without systemic organ involvement. The histopathological findings disclosed that the elastic fibers were decreased in number and had abnormalities in shape.

Cutis laxa is a rare disorder of elastic tissue resulting in loose, redundant, hypoelastic skin. Both acquired and inherited forms exist, some of which have significant systemic manifestations. Here, we review the various forms of cutis laxa, with focus on the inherited forms.

Cutis laxa with delayed development
Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 1985ABSTRACTTwo forms of cutis laxa are well delineated. One is a dominant benign disorder in which the greatest impact is on the skin, and the second is an autosomal recessive variety with serious lung involvement and early death. A third form of cutis laxa of intermediate severity, associated with mental and growth retardation, has been described.

Acrolocalized acquired cutis laxa
British Journal of Dermatology, 1996A 55-year-old man presented with a 14-year history of loose, redundant skin on the palmar aspects of the finger tips and toe pulps, which gave a peculiar 'chewing gum' appearance. Skin biopsies of involved areas showed a normal appearance, and only a discrete decrease in the elastic fibres could be identified with an elastic tissue stain ...

The condition known as cutis laxa has been reviewed and two examples occurring in brothers reported. One of these children died from complications of his disease and came to autopsy. Extensive histologic, ultramicroscopic, histochemical, and biochemical studies on skin and other organs demonstrated a defect of elastic fibers throughout the body. Review
