Diffuse normolipemic plane xanthomas in a healthy male infant
Authors
Abstract:
Diffuse normolipemic plane xanthoma is characterized by thepresence of yellowish-orange plaques on the eyelids, neck, uppertrunk, buttocks and flexural surfaces of the extremities in patientswith a normal lipid profile. It mainly affects adults of both sexes.Diffuse normolipemic plane xanthomas are usually associatedwith reticuloendothelial system disorders, such as multiplemyeloma and monoclonal gammopathies. We report a case ofdiffuse plane xanthomas in an otherwise healthy 1-year-old maleinfant who developed multiple disseminated non-inflammatoryyellowish-orange macules and patches that were not associatedwith any other symptoms..

We report on a 70-year-old woman with diffuse normolipemic plane xanthoma (DNPX) who developed macular yellowish patches on the eyelids, both cheeks, and the nose. Histology revealed the accumulation of CD68-positive foam cells and Touton giant cells in the superficial dermis. Plasma lipid levels were within normal limits. The patient had no underlying hematological diseases. Her extensive lesi...

Diffuse normolipemic plane xanthoma (DNPX) was first described by Altman and Winkelmann in 1962. It is a rare and non-inherited form of xanthomatosis. Clinically, the dermatosis is characterized by the presence of symmetric yellowish-orange plaques that favor the neck, upper trunk, flexural folds and periorbital region. It has been recognized to be associated with hematological diseases, especi...

A 58-year-old man had 3 years history of asymptomatic, extensive, yellowish patches on his face, neck, trunk and arms. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of diffuse plane xanthomatosis. This is a rare non-lipemic disease in which xanthomatous lesions develop in the skin in association with paraproteinemia. Serum lipids are usually normal. The histological features include bot...

Diffuse normolipemic plane xanthoma (DNPX) is an uncommon subtype of non-Langerhans histiocytosis. DNPX is characterised by xanthelasma palpebrarum, diffuse plane xanthoma of the head, neck, trunk, or extremities, and normal plasma lipid levels. The neck is the most common site. We report about a 62-year-old female Caucasian patient, who developed an asymptomatic fine wrinkling and loose skin o...
