Our case shows that the decrease of elastic fibers may be associated with the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the dermis. This supports the hypothesis that chemical mediators may play a major role in the destruction of elastic fibers, thus causing cutis laxa. In addition, we advise practitioners to take a complete clinical and family history to determine if the condition is inherited or acquired.
