Abstract
Acanthosis nigricans is associated with many diseases, including internal malignancies, genetic disorders, and endocrine abnormalities. Insulin resistance frequently accompanies endocrine-associated acanthosis nigricans. We describe a patient with acanthosis nigricans associated with hyperandrogenism and extreme insulin resistance that spontaneously resolved after a marked decrease in insulin receptor antibodies.
