Eruptive xanthoma is characterized by yellowish skin papules encircled by an erythematous halo and associated with severe hypertriglyceridemia above 2,000 mg/dl. Hypertriglyceridemia can be caused by primary genetic mutations, secondary causes, such as uncontrolled diabetes, obesity, alcohol overuse, or combinations of both. Eruptive xanthoma can serve as an important clinical indicator of underlying systemic conditions (e.g. hypertriglyceridemia and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus). It is important for clinicians to recognize it to prevent further complications such as pancreatitis and cardiovascular disease.
发疹性黄瘤的特征为黄色皮肤丘疹，周围有红斑晕，且与严重的高甘油三酯血症（超过2000mg/dl）相关。高甘油三酯血症可由原发性基因突变、继发性病因（如未控制的糖尿病、肥胖、过度饮酒）或两者共同作用引起。发疹性黄瘤可作为潜在全身性疾病（如高甘油三酯血症和未控制的糖尿病）的重要临床指标。临床医生认识到这一点很重要，以预防进一步的并发症，如胰腺炎和心血管疾病。
