CASE REPORT

Abstract

Cutis laxa, which translates from Latin as "loose or lax skin," is a infrequent, hereditary, or acquired condition with no known etiology that is characterized by skin that hangs freely and is completely elasticless [1-2]. Elastolysis in over-all is another name for cutis laxa. Vocal cords, bones, cartilage, blood vessels, the bladder, kidney, digestive system, and lungs are just a few of the organs that are exaggerated systemically. An estimated 1 instance per 2,000,000 people have this extremely infrequent congenital or acquired abnormality [6]. The most obvious sign of aging is loose, pendulous skin, drooping cheeks, or an outward look of immaturity [4-5].
