[Ehlers-Danlos like syndrome in a cat].

A 2-year-old male Persian cat was presented with repeated lacerated skin wounds. The skin was thin and hyperextensible. Wounds in different healing phases were observed in the neck, trunk, and the limbs. Histopathological examination of skin biopsies revealed a variable structure and size of the collagen bundles, electron microscopy revealed collagen fibrils with varying diameters and irregular, frayed outlines as well as collagen bundles with chaotic arrangement of aberrant collagen fibrils. The clinical signs and the histopathological and electron microscopical findings were consistent with the Ehlers-Danlos like syndrome.
