Abstract
Acquired cutis laxa may be associated with many systemic diseases or can appear after inflammatory skin diseases. Seven cases of generalized cutis laxa associated with myeloma and four cases associated with plasma cell dyscrasia have been reported in the literature. In our case, as in 2 previously described cases, large vacuolated cells resembling macrophages were seen in the dermis. They were thought to play a role in cutis laxa.
