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 overweight are few and bariatric surgeries are less common in Korea than
in the West, the number of these patients is increasing due to changes to Western
life styles. We report a case for a 24-year-old man who presented with
generalized lax and loose skin after massive weight loss. He was diagnosed with
cutis pleonasmus based on the history of great weight loss, characteristic
clinical features and normal histological findings. To the best of our knowledge,
this is the first report of cutis pleonasmus in Korea.
