ABSTRACT
The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes(EDS) are a heterogenous group of inherited connective tissue disorders characterized clinically by skin fragility, skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, and excessive bruising. At least 11 different subtypes of EDS have been classified based on genetic, biochemical, and clinical characteristics. We report a 25-year-old man with EDS type II who presented mild extensibility of skin and joint, skin fragility, and "cigarette paper" like atrophic scar. The EDS type II is more common than other different subtypes. While it may present with subtle clinical features, recognition is important so that good advice can be given to reduce the risks associated with certain careers and sports and to prevent the potential complications of pregnancy and surgery.
