Diffuse plane xanthomas associated with mycosis fungoides

摘要

Cutaneous xanthomas may develop in patients with lipid abnormalities, chronic inflammatory diseases or cancer. Especially myeloproliferative diseases may be accompanied by dystrophic xanthomas. We report on a normolipemic patient with cutaneous xanthomas who was subsequently diagnosed with mycosis fungoides. In addition to illustrative clinical and histopathological images, we present an overview of reports on dystrophic xanthomas in mycosis fungoides, the most frequent cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
