ICD-11 code : EE41.0;
Preferred Label : Cutis laxa;
ICD-11 definition : Cutis laxa is the term used for a group of inherited and acquired conditions in which
abnormalities of elastic fibres result in loose, redundant, hypoelastic skin. Typically,
the skin can easily be pulled away from underlying tissue and only slowly returns
to its original position. Unlike some conditions in the differential diagnosis, cutis
laxa is not characterized by spontaneous bruising or abnormal scarring. Redundant
skin is often most noticeable on the neck, hands, and groin, but can also be seen
on the face, creating a premature aging appearance.;
