Abstract
|
|
|
|
Diffuse plane xanthoma (DPX) was first described by Altman and Winkelmann in 1962. Patients with DPX usually exhibit yellow, flat or slightly elevated plaques that gradually develop on the eyelids, neck, upper trunk, and flexures. Histopathologically, histiocytic foamy cells diffusely spread in the upper dermis with an admixture of lymphocytes and histiocytes. This disease may occur with either hyperlipoproteinemic or normolipoproteinemic states. DPX with hyperlipoproteinemia is associated with familial hyperlipidemia or liver cirrhosis. DPX with normolipoproteinemia is often associated with hematological problems such as multiple myeloma, lymphoma, chronic lymphatic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. We report a case of diffuse plane xanthoma with hyperlipoproteinemia.
