Extrapituitary neuroendocrine melanoderma. Unique association of extensive melanoderma with macromelanosomes and extrapituitary secretion of a high molecular weight neuropeptide related to pro-opiomelanocortin.
    Dermatologica, 1986, Volume: 173, Issue:4

    A patient developed an Addison-like melanoderma over the past decade. An abnormal neuropeptide related to, but bigger than pro-opiomelanocortin was found in large amount in the serum. It has most likely a stimulative action upon melanogenesis with formation of macromelanosomes.
