Abstract

Acanthosis nigricans(AN) is characterized by hyperkeratozis, pigmentation, and the affected skin is being covered by papillomatous elevations, which result in a velvety texture. The most common sites of involvement are the axilla, base of the neck, groin and antecubital fossa,and may rarely be seen widely. Acanthosis nigricans can be classified into two major groups: benign and malignant.The benign group includes idiopathic, endocrine and drug-related diseases. Malignant AN is usually secondary to adenocarcinomas.Although AN is frequently seen, in our case lesions were diffuse and associated with a nonfunctional hypophysis adenoma. In this paper, a case of acanthosis nigricans is reported and tne relevant literature reviewed.

Özet

Akantozis nigrikans (AN), hiperkeratoz, pigmentasyon ve kadifemsi dokusu olan papillomatöz lezyonlarla karakterizedir. En sık tutulan bölgeler koltukaltı, boyun, kasıklar, dirsek iç yüzü olup, nadiren de yaygın tutulum olabilir. Akantozis nigrikans iki ana gruba ayrılır: benign ve malign. Benign tip; endokrin hastalıklar, ilaç kaynaklı veya idyopatik olanları kapsar. Malign tip genellikle adenokarsinomlara sekonder olarak gelişir. Akantozis nigrikans sık görülmesine rağmen, hastamızın lezyonlarının yaygın oluşu ve beraberinde nonfonksiyone hipofiz adenomunun varlığı nedeniyle, bu konu hakkında literatürler gözden geçirilerek olgu takdim edilmiştir.
