Acanthosis nigricans with tripe palms is one of the skin manifestations of systemic conditions, as well as internal malignancy. There have been reports of this paraneoplastic condition’s association with orocutaneous papillomatosis, but investigations into its relationship with diffuse esophageal papillomatosis are scarce. We report a case of acanthosis nigricans with tripe palms that was associated with diffuse esophageal squamous papillomatosis. A 40-year-old Thai woman with underlying systemic lupus erythematosus and secondary Sjögren’s syndrome, who was recently diagnosed with acanthosis nigricans and tripe palms was investigated for occult gastrointestinal malignancy. An upper GI endoscopy revealed diffuse squamous papilloma along the entire esophagus and lower GI endoscopy revealed one pedunculated hyperplastic polyp 1 cm in size at the sigmoid colon. Long-term follow-up is needed to reassure these coexisting conditions belonging to benign systemic diseases without hidden malignancy.

Mice of the inbred NZB strain develop a spontaneous disease characterized by autoimmune hemolytic anemia, positive lupus erythematosus cell tests and antinuclear antibodies and nephritis. This disease is analogous to human systemic lupus erythematosus. In ultrastructural studies of the glomerular lesion in NZB mice, intraglomerular dense deposits in mesangial, subepithelial and subendothelial locations were described. In common with the findings in many examples of human and experimental nephritis, including many cases of human lupus nephritis, these deposits were amorphous or slightly granular in appearance with no definable substructure.We have recently observed structured deposits in the glomeruli of NZB mice. They were uncommon and were found in older animals with severe glomerular lesions by morphologic criteria. They were seen most commonly as extracellular elements in subendothelial and mesangial regions. The deposits ranged up to 3 microns in greatest dimension and were often adjacent to deposits of lipid-like round particles of 30 to 250 millimicrons in diameter and with amorphous dense deposits.
