RESUMO
Normolipemic plane xanthoma normally occurs in adults. We report the atypical instance of a 9-year-old boy who developed disseminated, flat, yellow-brown plaques up to 2 to 3 cm without any complaints. The histology showed the hallmarks of xanthoma, including the presence of CD68+ foam cells and Touton giant cells. No systemic involvement or lipid disorders were evident. It is important to perform regular follow-up of these patients because normolipemic plane xanthoma often precedes myeloproliferative disorders such as leukemia, paraproteinemia, or lymphoma.
