Acantose nigricans é caracterizada por pele escura, espessa e aveludada em dobras e vincos do corpo. É mais comumente encontrada em associação com obesidade e diabetes tipo 2, embora possa ser um componente de numerosas síndromes genéticas. Hiperinsulinemia e resistência à insulina são fatores subjacentes importantes. A acantose nigricans raramente pode ser causada por malignidade subjacente (acantose nigricans paraneoplásica). | |||
