title: Verruca vulgaris in a plaque of acanthosis nigricans.
abstract: Warts are common cutaneous tumors, induced by different strains of the human papilloma virus. Many people develop one or more warts in their lifetime, most of which resolve spontaneously. We present a case of multiple warts within a plaque of acanthosis nigricans probably related to autoinoculation.
