Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma: a report of two fascinating cases

چکیده
Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NXG) is a rare granulomatous disorder of the skin. It is characterised by indurated nodules and erythematous, yellow plaques mostly affecting the periorbital region. In recent years, NXG has been increasingly associated with paraproteineamia and haematological disorders, such as multiple myeloma. Hereunder we report two cases with histological and clinical findings of NXG. We believe that case one is the first report case of NXG on a background of hepatitis C and case two is the first case report of extrafacial unilateral NXG to our knowledge.
