Diffuse normolipidemic plane xanthoma is a rare acquired dermatosis of the non-Langerhans histiocytosis subtype, often associated with underlying hematologic disorders, with half of the reported cases linked to lymphoproliferative disorders. This case report describes a 52-year-old woman presenting with asymptomatic, yellowish plaques symmetrically distributed on the eyelids, cervical region, axillae, upper back, and upper thighs, which had evolved over a two-year period (images of the eyelids and upper back are not provided). Skin biopsy was consistent with the diagnosis of plane xanthoma. Laboratory evaluation showed normal lipid levels, but elevated serum IgG and the presence of a monoclonal band, leading to the diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) after further workup. Over 18 months after diagnosis, the patient remains under follow-up in both the dermatology and hematology departments, with no signs of disease progression.
弥漫性血脂正常性扁平黄瘤是一种罕见的获得性非朗格汉斯组织细胞增生症亚型皮肤病,常与潜在的血液系统疾病相关,报告病例中有一半与淋巴增殖性疾病有关。本病例报告描述了一名52岁女性,其眼睑、颈部、腋窝、上背部和大腿上部出现无症状的淡黄色斑块,对称分布,病程长达两年(未提供眼睑和上背部的图像)。皮肤活检与扁平黄瘤的诊断一致。实验室检查显示血脂水平正常,但血清IgG升高且存在单克隆条带,进一步检查后诊断为意义未明的单克隆丙种球蛋白病(MGUS)。诊断后18个月以上,患者仍在皮肤科和血液科接受随访,无疾病进展迹象。
