Abstract
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Severe insulin resistance (SIR) is typically associated with well-established metabolic conditions such as central obesity, glucose intolerance, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). We present a case of SIR with prominent dermatologic and acral manifestations mimicking acromegaly, highlighting the importance of recognizing skin and soft tissue changes as possible indicators of underlying insulin resistance.
