Multiple xanthogranuloma lesions are rare in adults. This case report details an adult with widespread xanthogranuloma affecting the skin, eyes, mouth, and genitalia, a presentation previously undescribed.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Xanthogranulomas are rare conditions characterized by the accumulation of lipid-laden cells.
  • While typically seen in children, adult xanthogranuloma cases, especially with multiple lesions, are exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • This report details an adult patient presenting with numerous cutaneous xanthogranuloma lesions across the face and trunk.
  • The patient also exhibited lesions affecting the conjunctiva, oral mucosa, and genitalia.

Findings:

  • The case describes a rare adult manifestation of xanthogranuloma with extensive and multiple lesions.
  • This represents a unique clinical presentation involving multiple organ systems.

Implications:
