    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Skin tags (acrochordons) are common benign cutaneous neoplasms.
    • Increased circulating adrenocorticosteroids and diabetes mellitus are associated with a higher prevalence of skin tags.

    Observation:

    • A case of a diabetic woman with Cushing's syndrome was observed.
    • The patient presented with unusual, broad-based lipofibromas on her legs.

    Findings:

    • The lipofibromas were described as multiple, soft, sessile, and hyperpigmented.
    • This presentation differs from typical filiform skin tags often found in the axillae, neck, or eyelids.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a potential, less common dermatological manifestation in patients with concurrent diabetes and Cushing's syndrome.
    • Further research may explore the specific relationship between endocrine disorders and the morphology of cutaneous outgrowths.
