Abstract

Diffuse plane xanthoma is a group of plane xanthomas that present in yellow to yellowish-brown flat patches on the periorbital area, neck, upper trunk and flexural folds. It is rare and often associated with reticulo-endothelial malignancies such as multiple myeloma, monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance and other lympho-proliferative disorders. We report a case of diffuse plane xanthoma associated with monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance and diffuse large B cell lymphoma in a 75 year-old woman.
