Abstract

Acanthosis nigricans is a mucocutaneous dermatosis characterized by hyperpigmentation and a velvety papillomatous hyperkeratosis. It is frequently associated with systemic diseases including malignancy and endocrinal disorders. We report the beneficial effect of topical calcipotriol ointment 50 mcg/g twice a day in acanthosis nigricans associated with primary hypogonadism.
