Transient acanthosis-nigricans-like dermatosis in re-epithelializing lesions of pemphigus foliaceus.
A patient is described who developed hyperkeratotic, hyperpigmented plaques, similar to acanthosis nigricans in re-epithelializing erosions of pemphigus foliaceus. The lesions regressed completely after a few months. This phenomenon can be attributed to a Köbner phenomenon after epidermal damage or can be a result of systemic corticosteroid therapy.
