| Abstrakt: | We report a case series of two patients who had similar skin pigmentation but were caused by vitamin B12 deficiency and Addison's disease. We further discuss the pathophysiology of skin hyperpigmentation in both of these disorders and the response to treatment. Our case report highlights the importance of the identification of simple bedside clinical signs to diagnose reversible causes of skin pigmentation.
