Abstract:
Cutis laxa (CL) is a rare inherited or acquired connective tissue disorder in which the skin becomes inelastic and hangs loosely in folds.
Autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and X-linked recessive forms have been described. In both the inherited and acquired types, the internal organs are frequently involved. We describe a 2-year-old
girl with congenital cutis laxa, presenting with multiple
xanthogranulomata.
