Abstract

Diffuse plane xanthoma is a group of plane xanthomas that appear as yellow to yellowish-brown flat patches or slightly elevated plaques with a widespread distribution. It is often associated with, or preceded by several years of, hematologic problems. Here, we describe a 63-year-old woman diagnosed with diffuse normolipemic plane xanthoma who developed multiple myeloma 20 years later. This case suggests that patients with diffuse normolipemic plane xanthoma should be followed for their entire life to detect health problems.

저자들은 20년 전 정상지질혈증성 편평 황색종을 진단받고 특별한 치료 없이 지내온 환자에서 20년 후 다발성 골수종이 진단된 1예를 경험하여 정상지질혈증성 편평 황색종 환자의 지속적인 추적관찰이 필요함을 강조하면서 보고하는 바이다.
