Xanthomas are often a manifestation of underlying lipid abnormalities. A 50-year-old male presented to our hospital with the lesions of multiple tuberous xanthomas all over the body. Routine investigations and systemic examination were normal. Lipid profile was within normal range and serum protein electrophoresis showed normal pattern. Histopathology from a nodular lesion showed collection of foamy macrophages in the dermis. We present a case of normolipemic tuberous xanthomas, which is an uncommon occurrence.
黄瘤通常是潜在脂质异常的一种表现。一名50岁男性因全身多处结节性黄瘤病变前来我院就诊。常规检查和全身检查均正常。血脂谱在正常范围内,血清蛋白电泳显示正常模式。结节性病变的组织病理学检查显示真皮内有泡沫状巨噬细胞聚集。我们报告一例血脂正常的结节性黄瘤病例,这种情况并不常见。
