Abstract

Psoriasis is a multifactorial, inflammatory chronic skin condition affecting 1–3 % of the population worldwide. Obesity is more common in patients with psoriasis. Psoriasis and obesity are linked via a mechanism of chronic inflammation. There are reports on improvement of psoriasis after obesity surgery. Role of sleeve gastrectomy in psoriasis improvement is not fully elucidated yet. In this article, we describe two obese patients with psoriasis who had improvement of their skin lesions 1 month after sleeve gastrectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of psoriasis remission after sleeve gastrectomy in current medical literature.
