Eruptive xanthoma with unexpected granuloma annulare-like microscopic appearance - Case report Abstract: Eruptive xanthoma and granuloma annulare are dermatological diseases with different clinical findings that, sometimes, exhibit histopathological similarities with potential for misinterpretation. We report a case of an eruption of yellow-orange papules with erythematous borders in a 34-year-old male with high levels of serum triglycerides and cholesterol. The skin biopsy specimen has diagnosed granuloma annulare. Review of the histologic material revealed eruptive xanthoma. Remission of the eruption after treatment of dyslipidemia confirmed the diagnosis of the eruptive xanthoma and motivated research about the histological similarities and differences between these diseases.
具有意外的环状肉芽肿样显微镜下表现的发疹性黄瘤——病例报告摘要:发疹性黄瘤和环状肉芽肿是具有不同临床表现的皮肤病,有时在组织病理学上表现出相似性,有可能被误诊。我们报告一例34岁男性,血清甘油三酯和胆固醇水平高,出现有红色边缘的橙黄色丘疹疹。皮肤活检标本诊断为环状肉芽肿。对组织学材料的复查显示为发疹性黄瘤。血脂异常治疗后皮疹消退,证实了发疹性黄瘤的诊断,并促使人们对这些疾病之间的组织学异同进行研究。
