Congenital cutis laxa is a rare, clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of inherited disorders. It is characterized by degenerative changes in elastic fibres and manifests with skin laxity. Here we presented a six-month old boy with congenital cutis laxa associated with growth retardation. We reveal ultrastructural findings and discussed the differential diagnosis.

Calcinosis cutis is a condition of accumulation of calcium salts within the dermis leading to the formation of a calcified mass. This complication has been reported in acne vulgaris and other systemic metabolic disorders. This paper presents a rare case of calcinosis cutis in a 14-year-old male which was found at a routine orthodontic assessment.

Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a skin condition characterized by excessive growth of the skin of the scalp, resulting in furrows and folds which are similar to the gyri of the brain cortex. CVG can be classified into two forms: primary (essential and non-essential) and secondary. We report the case of a 53-year-old male patient with the primary type of CVG. The patient did not present with any ...

In 2005, Kreidstein first proposed the term "Cutis pleonasmus," a Greek term meaning "redundancy," which refers to the excessive skin that remains after massive weight loss. Cutis pleonasmus is clearly distinguishable from other diseases showing increased laxity of the skin, such as pseudoxanthoma elasticum, congenital and acquired generalized cutis laxa. Although individuals who are severely o...

Osteoma cutis or cutaneous ossification is a rare entity characterized by the formation of bone in the skin. We present an isolated primary osteoma cutis located on the palm, an atypical location.

CMTC: Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita PPV: Phacomatosis pigmentovascularis INTRODUCTION The coexistence of cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) with Mongolian spots has been reported as a distinct type of phacomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV), namely PPV type V or phacomatosis cesiomarmorata. PPV type V is a rare congenital vascular anomaly, with only 7 previous cases ment...
