Acanthosis nigricans was observed 3 months after single lung transplantation in a 51-year-old African American woman with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The patient had no endocrinological abnormalities and was not taking any medications known to cause acanthosis nigricans; extensive investigation did not reveal an underlying malignant process. Because acanthosis nigricans may occur as a paraneoplastic phenomenon, it is important to rule out an underlying malignancy. This is especially important in solid-organ transplant recipients receiving chronic immunosuppressive therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
