Successful Resolution of Eruptive Xanthomas in Severe Hypertriglyceridemia With Plasmapheresis

Eruptive xanthomatosis, characterised by yellowish skin papules, is often associated with hypertriglyceridemia and can signal underlying systemic conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes. Here, we present the case of a 47-year-old woman with eruptive xanthomas and severe hypertriglyceridemia. Taking into consideration the multiple comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, and a history of acute pancreatitis, the patient was treated with six courses of plasmapheresis, leading to complete resolution of the lesions and normal triglyceride (TG) levels.
