Abstract:
Generalized plane xanthoma is a group of plane xanthomas that appear as yellow to yellowish-brown flat patches or slightly-elevated plaques with a wide-spread distribution. This disease is not common and may occur in hyperlipidemic or nomolipidemic states. Generalized plane xanthoma with normolipidemia is often associated with multiple myeloma, other reticulo-endothelial malignancies and monoclonal gammopathy with unknown siginificance (MGUS). We report a case of generalized plane xanthoma associated with monoclonal gammopathy of unknown siginificance in a 40 year-old man.
