Xanthoderma, a yellow skin discoloration, can stem from various conditions, some serious. This review offers a new diagnostic approach for clinicians evaluating this sign.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Xanthoderma presents as yellow to orange macular skin discoloration.
  • Causes range from benign conditions to life-threatening diseases.
  • A comprehensive review of xanthoderma's causes and diagnostic workup is lacking in current literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the etiopathogenesis of xanthoderma.
  • To propose a novel diagnostic algorithm for evaluating xanthoderma.
  • To aid clinicians in the initial assessment of patients with skin yellowing.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of xanthoderma causes and pathogenesis.
  • Development of a diagnostic algorithm based on clinical presentation and potential underlying diseases.
