A recurrent elbow xanthoma showed an unusual plexiform growth pattern, mimicking a neoplasm. This case highlights the importance of differentiating benign xanthomata from neoplastic conditions, even with atypical presentations.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Histopathology
  • Cutaneous Neoplasms

Background:

  • Xanthomata are benign cutaneous deposits of lipids.
  • Recurrent xanthomata can occur, but typically present with characteristic histopathological features.
  • Distinguishing xanthomata from neoplasms is crucial for appropriate patient management.

Observation:

  • A 35-year-old male presented with a recurrent dermal xanthoma on the elbow.
  • The patient exhibited no clinical signs of hyperlipidemia.
  • Histopathological examination revealed an unusual plexiform growth pattern within the xanthoma.

Findings:

  • The plexiform growth pattern of the xanthoma was not previously described in the literature.
  • This unusual morphology raised diagnostic challenges, necessitating differentiation from neoplastic processes.

  • Differential diagnosis primarily included neural neoplasms due to the growth pattern.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the histopathological spectrum of xanthomata.
    • It underscores the importance of considering benign, albeit unusually presenting, conditions in the differential diagnosis of cutaneous lesions.
    • Accurate histopathological assessment is vital to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure correct treatment strategies.
