Abstract:
We report a case of type V hyperlipoproteinemia and xanthoma eruptivum associated with diabetes mellitus in a 12-year-old female. She had diffuse erythematous yellowish papules on the extremities and trunk with itching. The laboratory findings showed increased serum blood glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride, increasing pre- and chylomicron bands on electrophoresis of lipoprotein. The biopsy specimen of an erythematous yellowish colored papule on the trunk showed characteristic findings of xanthoma.
