Article Synopsis
- Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is a skin condition linked to insulin resistance, endocrine issues, certain medications, chromosomal abnormalities, and sometimes cancers, particularly abdominal neoplasms.
- Malignant AN typically affects older patients, showing early subtle symptoms and primarily manifests in skin folds like the armpits and neck.
- A case study is presented involving a woman with significant weight loss and skin darkening, leading to the discovery of a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after finding a tumor in her flank, highlighting the connection between AN and RCC.
