Normolipemic Mucocutaneous Eruptive Xanthoma

Abstract

To the Editor. - An 18-year-old female presented at our polyclinic with complaints of widespread yellow-brown skin lesions. This had started 6 years earlier on her arm and within a short time had spread over her whole body in the form of slightly itchy yellowish blisters. For last one year she developed similar lesions inside her mouth, in the genital area and in her eyes. There was no similar family history. Dermatological examination showed generalised distribution of yellow-brown papules and plaques over the skin [Figure 1]. There were many coloured mucosal papules in the nasopharynx with hypopharynx, oropharynx and buccal mucosal surfaces [Figure 2].
