CRUZ GARCIA, Rober; FERRAN GASCON, Marisol y RAMIREZ WONG, Elizabeth A.. Acanthosis nigricans and gastric cancer. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2008, vol.37, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3046.
The case of an adult patient seen at the physician's office for presenting asthenia, anorexia, weight loss and malaise, as well as pain in the right hypochondrium irradating to epigastrium and hyperpigmented lesions of the trunk skin, lower and upper limbs, was presented. In the skin biopsy, it was evidenced the presence of acanthosis nigricans, and its paraneoplastic syndrome associated with stomach cancer was later proved. The connection between acanthosis nigricans and gastric cancer was discussed.
