ABSTRACT
We report a case of type V hyperlipoproteinemia with xanthoma eruptivum associated with diabetes mellitus. An 18-year-old female patient presented with multiple, erythematous papules on the trunk, buttocks, and both extremities and multiple orange-yellow colored, conglomerated nodules on the elbows and knees. Laboratory examination showed increased serum blood glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride. Lipoprotein electrophoresis showed increased pre-beta and chylomicron bands. Analysis of lipoprotein revealed increase of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and triglyceride levels in the plasma. A skin biopsy from the papule on the trunk revealed a xanthoma. We diagnosed the patient as type V hyperlipoproteinemia. After 10 months of treatment with insulin and gemfibrozil, the serum levels of cholesterol and triglyceride were reduced to normal level. The skin lesions showed marked improvement without scar.
