Clinically, mild glycogenic acanthosis is a normal finding, and does not progress to esophageal cancer or to stricture. [4] It is not related to leukoplakia, and is not dysplastic or premalignant. It was originally thought to be associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), but the association is not entirely clear. [ 2 ]
The diagnosis of acanthocytosis should be differentiated from: acute or chronic anemia, hepatitis A, B, and C, hepatorenal syndrome, hypopituitarism, malabsorption syndromes, and malnutrition. [ 11 ] Acanthocytosis secondary to malnourishment, such as anorexia nervosa and cystic fibrosis, remits with resolution of the nutritional deficiency. [ 12 ]
Severe achondroplasia with developmental delay and acanthosis nigricans (SADDAN) - Sanger Sequencing: Diagnosis, Mutation Confirmation, Pre-symptomatic, Risk Assessment, Screening; Craniosynostosis: Diagnosis; Invitae FGFR3-Related Disorders Test: Pre-symptomatic, Diagnosis, Therapeutic management; Mutation scanning of select exons [3]
Crouzonodermoskeletal syndrome is a disorder characterized by the premature joining of certain bones of the skull (craniosynostosis) during development and a skin condition called acanthosis nigricans. [1] Some of the signs and symptoms of Crouzonodermoskeletal syndrome are similar to those seen with Crouzon syndrome.
Acanthosis nigricans is a medical sign characterised by brown-to-black, poorly defined, velvety hyperpigmentation of the skin. [1] It is usually found in body folds, [2] such as the posterior and lateral folds of the neck, the armpits, groin, navel, forehead and other areas.
Acanthosis nigricans-muscle cramps-acral enlargement syndrome, also known as Acanthosis nigricans-insulin resistance-muscle cramps-acral enlargement syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disorder which is characterized by the appearance of acanthosis nigricans, insulin resistance, muscle cramps of severe intensity, and acral hypertrophy ...
The diagnosis of HAIR-AN is based on identifying the symptoms and correlating them to the known risk factors. [ 10 ] The severity of hirsutism which accompanies the HAIR-AN syndrome has been found to correlate to the activity of the stromal ovarian cells, as they are overstimulated by elevated insulin levels.
Malignant acanthosis nigricans may also become evident, many times with the sudden eruption of multiple seborrheic keratoses, known as the sign of Leser-Trélat. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] Florid cutaneous papillomatosis mandates a search for an underlying malignancy, recognizing that it may be seen in patients with multiple visceral carcinomas.
