[Localized acquired cutis laxa associated with trachyonychia].
Acquired cutis laxa is a rare disease of unknown cause, which affects elastin metabolism. Clinically, it is characterized by redundant skin and hyperelasticity, while the histological study shows a reduction in or absence of elastic fibers in the dermis. We present a case of localized acquired cutis laxa associated with trachyonychia.
