Eruptive xanthomas serve as a clinical marker for hypertriglyceridemia and underlying metabolic disorders associated with atherosclerosis, and can be ameliorated by improving triglyceride levels.
Clinicians should recognize eruptive xanthomas as a potential skin manifestation of severe hypertriglyceridemia and underlying metabolic disorders associated with atherosclerosis.
May alert clinicians to lipid evaluation in eruptive xanthomas; leaves open effects on atherosclerosis outcomes.
Eruptive xanthomas are skin manifestations associated with hypertriglyceridemia. Accordingly, improvement of hypertriglyceridemia can ameliorate this condition. We report a case of a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus who was diagnosed with this skin lesion. Clinicians should be aware that eruptive xanthomas could indicate metabolic disorders associated with atherosclerosis.
