What is Generalized Acanthosis Nigricans in an Otherwise Healthy Young Child about?

**Abstract:** Acanthosis nigricans in children is usually a benign condition most commonly associated with obesity. Generalized acanthosis nigricans is a very rare condition, especially in childhood. We report a 6‐year‐old boy with a 4‐year history of generalized hyperpigmentation and velvety thickening of the skin. Despite an extensive examination, no evidence for an underlying neoplastic or endocrinologic disease was found.
