ABSTRACT
Malignant acanthosis nigricans is recognized as a cutaneous sign of internal malignancy, usually an adenocarcinoma. Although cases of malignant acanthosis nigricans have been associated with cervical, ovarian, and endometrial neoplasms, we describe a case with a rarely if ever reported association, endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the parametrium.

ABSTRACT
With many treatments now available for acne vulgaris, the treatment must be tailored to the type and severity of the lesions. Most mild-to-moderate cases can be treated with a benzoyl peroxide product, a topical or oral antibiotic, a topical retinoid, or a combination of these medications. Antibiotic resistance is becoming a challenge for many once-reliable topical and oral antibiotics.
