Abstract:
Generalized plane xanthoma is a group of plane xanthomas that appear as yellow to yellow-brown flat patches or slightly elevated plaques with a wide-spread distribution. The disease is frequently associated with multiple myeloma or other reticulo-endothelial malignancies and monoclonal gammopathy with unknown significance, and when accompanied by these hematologic malignancies, normolipoproteinemia is invariably associated. We present a case of generalized plane xanthoma associated with multiple myeloma and type III hyperlipoproteinemia in a 48 year-old woman, and this is the first report in Korean literature.
