Highlights
At higher magnification (×150), oval dark brown annular “ring”-like structures centered around hair follicles were observed (Figure 1C)
The dermoscopic image was conspicuously devoid of sulci/cristae
Facial AN and MH may represent evolutionary standpoints on the morphological spectrum of cutaneous markers of MeTS (CMM) [1], labeling them as synonymous [2] without dermoscopy/supportive evidence seems inappropriate at present
Summary
Facial AN and MH may represent evolutionary standpoints on the morphological spectrum of cutaneous markers of MeTS (CMM) [1], labeling them as synonymous [2] without dermoscopy/supportive evidence seems inappropriate at present. A 62-year-old Indian man with a strong family history of metabolic syndrome (MeTS) presented with asymptomatic, granular-surfaced, dark brown pigmentation on the cheeks (Figure 1, A and B). Nuchal/axillary acanthosis nigricans (AN) were conspicuously absent.
