    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Oral acanthosis nigricans (OAN) is a rare condition.
    • Late-onset OAN may indicate internal malignancy.

    Observation:

    • A classic case of malignant oral acanthosis nigricans is presented.
    • This case highlights the association between OAN and internal cancers.

    Findings:

    • The study discusses potential etiologic factors for malignant OAN.
    • Pathogenetic mechanisms linking OAN to cancer are explored.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness of OAN is crucial for early cancer detection.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment of underlying cancers can improve patient outcomes.
