Abstract

Acantosis nigricans is an uncommon dermatologic disorder with papillary proliferation, pigmentation, and hyperkeratosis that is associated with malignant tumors in internal organs. We report on an elderly patient who had malignant acantosis nigricans associated with oral florid papillomatosis and Leser-Trélat sign. Advanced gastric cancer was found after detecting oral papillomatosis and dermal symptoms in this patient.
