ABSTRACT
Introduced in 2005, the term “
cutis pleonasmus” refers to an excess
of skin due to “massive” weight loss. The entity is believed
to be different from disorders such as congenital and acquired
cutis laxa, dermal elastosis and granulomatous cutis laxa.
Contributing to the existing literature on the matter, we
describe a case of cutis pleonasmus due to a body mass loss of
54% secondary to a conduct disorder.
