A 25-year-old African woman presented to the endocrinology outpatient clinic with a 3-month history of weight gain, fatigue, and deep purple “stretch marks” on her abdomen and limbs. Some of the stretch marks had ulcerated and formed slow-healing wounds. She complained of new-onset amenorrhea for the past 2 months but reported 2 prior successful pregnancies.
