Abstract
Acanthosis Nigricans is considered to be a skin marker of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. It is rarely reported in cases of insulinoma where there is marked hyperinsulinaemia. We report two cases of insulinoma with acanthosis nigricans which regressed, concomitant with significant weight loss and reduction in blood pressure following surgical resection. This strengthens the hypothesis that hyperinsulinaemia is responsible for Acanthosis nigricans and atherosclerotic risk factors.Entities:
