Abstract: | Three patients with malignant acanthosis nigricans who presented with widespread warty lesions arc reported. Although many of the lesions appeared similar to viral warts, no evidence supporting a viral aetiology could be found by light or electron microscopy. These cases illustrate a potentially misleading presentation of an important marker of internal malignancy. |
