Diffuse Normolipemic Plane Xanthoma (DNPX) of the Neck without Xanthelasma Palpebrum
View through CrossRef
Diffuse normolipemic plane xanthoma (DNPX) is an uncommon subtype of non-Langerhans histiocytosis. DNPX is characterised by xanthelasma palpebrarum, diffuse plane xanthoma of the head, neck, trunk, or extremities, and normal plasma lipid levels. The neck is the most common site. We report about a 62-year-old female Caucasian patient, who developed an asymptomatic fine wrinkling and loose skin on the neck and décolleté about three years ago. The skin colour became yellowish. Xanthelasma was absent. Histopathology of a skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of DNPX. The patient had a medical history of chronic myeloblastic leukaemia. No other laboratory abnormalities were found. Laser treatment was offered but opposed by the patient.
