A case of xanthoma of the liver in a 61-year-old Korean woman with multiple myeloma, hyperlipidemia and xanthoma of the skin is described. Microscopically, the liver showed a multiple xanthomatous collection of foamy histiocytes as well as diffuse sinusoidal infiltration of the foam cells. This hepatic accumulation of foam cells seems to be related to hyperlipidemia of the patient. The mechanis...

A 58-year-old man had 3 years history of asymptomatic, extensive, yellowish patches on his face, neck, trunk and arms. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of diffuse plane xanthomatosis.

Chemotherapy may induce mass lesion in rare conditions, which can be easily mistaken as a residual tumor mass. In this report, we describe a mass affecting spleen in a patient received chemotherapy for non Hodgkin diffuse large B cell lymphoma. This mass proved histologically to be non neoplastic formed of sheets of histiocytes and xanthoma cells, which is called histiocyte-rich pseudotumor. Th...

It typically presents as a papillomatous, polypoid, or sessile lesion. Verruciform xanthoma is most commonly observed within the oral cavity. However, albeit less frequently, it develops on the penis, scrotum, or vulva. PURPOS...
