Description

A 39-year-old man had noticed multiple asymptomatic eruptions on the trunk from March, 2001. At the first visit, the skin symptom was consisted of multiple yellowish or pinky soft papules, which were as big as 2-3-mm in diameter. Those papules were not seen on eyelids, tendons or palms. Histopathological examinations with hematoxyllin-eosine-stained biopsy specimens revealed relatively small formy cells admixed with lymphocytes and histiocytes from upper to middle dermis and occasional occurrence of Touton’s giant cells. Based on these findings, we finally gave a diagnosis on this case to be adult multiple xanthogranuloma.
