POMC and acne: We report a case of a recently diagnosed adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent Cushing's syndrome in a 30-years-old female who presented initially with a three-month history of progressive weight gain, generalized weakness, acne, menstrual irregularity, and severe hypokalemia, and then developed a gastric ulcer perforation only one month after her ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome diagnosis and was managed through emergent surgery.
