Se presenta el caso de un paciente adulto mayor que acude a consulta por presentar astenia, anorexia, pérdida de peso y toma del estado general, así como dolor en el hipocondrio derecho con irradiación a epigastrio y lesiones hiperpigmentadas de la piel del tronco, miembros inferiores y superiores. Se evidenció en la biopsia de piel la presencia de acantosis nigricans, y se demostró posteriormente su carácter de síndrome paraneoplásico asociado con cáncer de estómago.
