title: Acquired localized cutis laxa of the face: a rare presentation.
abstract: We report a rare case of acquired localized cutis laxa in a teenage boy, without any preceding skin lesions. The area affected was the midface, extending to the chin, and involving the ears, leading to a prematurely aged appearance. Only five such cases have been previously published in the literature.
