Abstract
|
|
|
Scleredema and acanthosis nigricans are two distinct dermatological disorders that have been reported in association
with insulin resistance. Few reported cases have shown an association between scleredema and acanthosis nigricans.
A 53-year-old obese woman with diabetes mellitus presented with a 4-year history of an indurated plaque on the
nape and upper mid-back. She also presented with a 20-year history of hyperpigmented, velvety plaques on the neck
and both axillae. We report a diabetic patient who developed scleredema and acanthosis nigricans.
