Acanthosis nigricans is classified into benign and malignant forms on the basis of clinical associations. The main interest in acanthosis nigricans has been based on its association with malignancy because of the dramatic clinical appearance of the skin lesions and the usually rapidly fatal nature of the underlying disease. "Tripe palms" is a descriptive term of acanthosis nigricans of the palms. It more often is associated with internal malignancy. Most importantly, it often precedes the diagnosis of a new or recurrent tumor. Malignant acanthosis nigricans is most commonly associated with intra-abdominal malignancies. There are very few reports in the literature of malignant acanthosis nigricans associated with gynecological malignancies. Only five cases of endometrial carcinoma associated with acanthosis nigricans and/or tripe palms have been reported in the literature.
