Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Endocrinology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Eruptive xanthomas are skin manifestations associated with severe hypertriglyceridemia.
  • Understanding the clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria is crucial for timely management.

Observation:

  • A 26-year-old woman developed multiple, red-yellow papules on her extremities, hands, thighs, and buttocks over two months.
  • The patient had a recent history of pancreatitis.

Findings:

  • Serum lipid evaluation revealed significant hypertriglyceridemia.
  • Clinical, laboratory, and histopathologic findings confirmed the diagnosis of eruptive xanthomas.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the link between eruptive xanthomas and uncontrolled hypertriglyceridemia.
