Abstract
The case of acanthosis nigricans reported in this article occurred in a patient who was formerly under the care of one of us (H. J. S.) at the Memorial Hospital, New York, and who was transferred to the New York Hospital for study. At the latter institution work was directed particularly toward an investigation of the endocrine system in view of the hypotheses of Darier,1Pollitzer2and Porias3concerning the etiology of acanthosis nigricans. Frequent clinical observations were made and these were supplemented by the laboratory procedures which are described following the report of the case. These procedures are arranged under the heading of the organ studied. REPORT OF CASE History.— A. de G., a white housewife, aged 46, was admitted to the New York Hospital on Oct. 26, 1932, because of itching growths on the skin and growths in the mouth of two years' duration.
