Background:
Eruptive xanthomas are rare and often asymptomatic. On the other hand, these cutaneous lesions are a red flag for serious underlying metabolic disorders that demand an early diagnosis to prevent morbidity and mortality.
Case Report:
We report on two male patients, aged 23 and 27 years, who presented with eruptive xanthomas. Clinical, histological and laboratory investigations disclosed a metabolic syndrome in the younger patient and an alcohol-induced chylomicronemia in the elder one. Two types of macromorphology of cutaneous lesions were observed. Treatment was tailored according to underlying pathologies and resulted in significant improvement of the metabolic parameters and improvement of skin lesions.
Conclusion:
Dermatologists should be aware of the diagnostic importance of eruptive xanthomas for serious metabolic disorders.

Adult stem cells
Adult stem cells are tissue-specific; hence, they divide to develop the tissue from which they originate. One type of adult stem cell is the epithelial stem cell, which gives rise to the keratinocytes in the multiple layers of epithelial cells in the epidermis of the skin. Adult bone marrow has three distinct types of stem cells:...
