Popis: We herein present the first case of nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel)- and/or gemcitabine-induced scleroderma accompanied by acanthosis nigricans-like skin changes in a 54-year-old Japanese male. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and received 17 courses of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine chemotherapy. Edema and skin sclerosis in his legs appeared after the first and third course, respectively. Histological examination of the hyperkeratotic lesion of the ankle revealed hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, papillomatosis, increased number of melanocytes in the basal layer, and dermal fibrosis. Awareness of the clinical characteristics of nab-paclitaxel- and/or gemcitabine-induced scleroderma accompanied by acanthosis nigricans-like skin changes is important for dermatologists to establish an accurate diagnosis.
