Eruptive xanthomas secondary to severe hypertriglyceridemia
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Xanthomas are benign cutaneous manifestations of extracellular lipid accumulation. Eruptive xanthoma is characterized by the acute, widespread presentation of a papular rash and usually involves the back, buttocks, and extremities. Eruptive xanthoma is associated with hyperlipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and an increased long-term risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We present a case of eruptive xanthoma accompanied by severe hypertriglyceridemia (10,164 mg/dL) in which the course of the disease was reversed following implementation of lipid-lowering pharmacotherapy.
