A Case of Diffuse Normolipemic Plane Xanthoma Associated with Multiple Myeloma / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

Diffuse plane xanthoma is a group of plane xanthomas that appear as yellow to yellowish-brown flat patches or slightly elevated plaques with a widespread distribution. It is often associated with, or preceded by several years of, hematologic problems. Here, we describe a 63-year-old woman diagnosed with diffuse normolipemic plane xanthoma who developed multiple myeloma 20 years later. This case suggests that patients with diffuse normolipemic plane xanthoma should be followed for their entire life to detect health problems.
