After a brief introduction about the classification and clinicopathological findings of acanthosis nigricans, we present a clinical case of the familial type of acanthosis nigricans in a woman with lesions beginning in childhood and with three family members affected. We comment the characteristics that permit us to individualize this condition from the other forms of benign acanthosis nigricans.
