Abstract
- Adult xanthogranuloma is nearly indistinguishable from juvenile xanthogranuloma characterized by yellow-red nodules on the skin, normal lipid findings and the proliferation of xanthomatizied histiocytes with foamy Touton cells, histologically. But unlike juvenile xanthogranuloma, there is no visceral involvement, spontaneous regression and more solitary lesions. Multiple adult xanthogranulomas are rare entities that present more spontaneous involution. Here we report a case of a 39-year-old patient with multiple xanthogranulomas which developed on the face, trunk and extremities. Diagnostic workup revealed normal lipid profile and no extracutaneous manifestations.
