A Case of Hypermelanosis in Congenital Adrenal Aplasia / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

In adrenal insufficiency, recognition of the disease in its earlier phases may present a real challenge. The disease, if unrecognized and untreated, carries an almost uniformly poor and frequently fatal prognosis. We report a rare case of congenital adrenal aplasia accompanied by hyperpigmentation on the whole body surface. The diagnosis was confirmed by ACTH stimulation test and autopsy findings.
