This case report highlights a rare cellular blue nevus in a patient who also presented with eruptive xanthomatosis, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia. The co-occurrence of these conditions is unusual and warrants further investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Endocrinology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cellular blue nevus is a rare melanocytic nevus characterized by its deep blue color and dermal proliferation.
  • Xanthomatosis presents as lipid deposits in the skin, often associated with metabolic disorders.
  • Diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia are common endocrine and metabolic conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of cellular blue nevus.
  • To describe the unusual association of cellular blue nevus with eruptive xanthomatosis, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia.
  • To emphasize the diagnostic and clinical significance of this rare co-occurrence.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical examination of skin lesions.
  • Laboratory investigations for metabolic parameters (blood glucose, lipid profile).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Histopathological examination of the blue nodule biopsy.

    • Main Results:

    • A 31-year-old male presented with a long-standing, asymptomatic cellular blue nevus on his hand.
    • He developed recent onset of eruptive xanthomatosis on his limbs and buttocks.
    • Investigations revealed concurrent diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia.

    Conclusions:

    • The co-presentation of cellular blue nevus with eruptive xanthomatosis, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia is rare and clinically significant.
    • This case underscores the importance of thorough metabolic workup in patients with unusual skin manifestations.
    • Further research may elucidate potential underlying pathogenetic links between these conditions.
