Clinical features in adults with acquired cutis laxa: a retrospective review

Abstract

Acquired cutis laxa (ACL) is a very rare dermatological condition with numerous proposed aetiologies. Herein, we report on 10 adult patients with ACL, three of which were found to have genetic mutations suggesting a genetic predisposition for the development of ACL following exposure to an environmental insult. Four patients were presumed to develop ACL in association with medication exposure. Overall, if a case of potential ACL arises, providers should carefully review patient history and comorbidities, perform thorough systemic investigations based on symptomatology, and consider genetic analysis.
