Alkaptonuria is a rare, autosomal-recessive disorder of phenylalanine/tyrosine metabolism due to congenital deficiency of the enzyme homogentisic acid oxidase. Herein, we are reporting a classical case of alkaptonuria with extensive skin pigmentation and skeletal involvement. Histopathological examination also revealed classical ochre-colored deposits in dermis.
