  • Title: [Eruptive xanthomas with hypertriglyceridemia].
    Author: Renner R, Teuwen I, Harth W, Treudler R, Simon JC.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 2008 Dec; 59(12):995-9. PubMed ID: 18563377.
    Abstract:
    Eruptive xanthomas are often associated with elevated plasma levels of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and may be a marker for occult hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus or pancreatitis. A 42-year-old woman presented with the acute onset of disseminated eruptive xanthomas secondary to hyperlipidemia associated with diabetes and concomitant acute pancreatitis. She improved after optimized insulin therapy and intensified treatment of hyperlipidemia. Eruptive xanthomas should be diagnosed early and lead to further metabolic evaluations.
