Abstract
Acquired cutis laxa type II (Marshall syndrome) is a post-inflammatory elastolysis occurring in infancy and childhood. It is challenging to treat with very few effective treatment options available. Herein, we describe the case of a 3-month-old boy with acquired cutis laxa type II secondary to a neutrophilic dermatosis. Early treatment of the initial inflammatory phase is essential to reduce the permanent sequelae.
