Psoriasis is more frequent and severe in populations with obesity, and both have been associated with a higher cardiovascular risk. Recent studies suggest that weight loss may improve psoriasis and metabolic comorbidities in individuals with obesity. We present a case of a female patient affected by psoriasis, morbid obesity and other metabolic comorbidities, who experienced dramatic improvement in skin and joint symptoms and metabolic parameters after weight loss surgery with sleeve gastrectomy.

Abstract
Psoriasis is more frequent and severe in populations with obesity, and both have been associated with a higher cardiovascular risk. Recent studies suggest that weight loss may improve psoriasis and metabolic comorbidities in individuals with obesity. We present a case of a female patient affected by psoriasis, morbid obesity and other metabolic comorbidities, who experienced dramatic improvement in skin and joint symptoms and metabolic parameters after weight loss surgery with sleeve gastrectomy.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
