Abstract

Adult-onset xanthogranuloma (XG) is an unusual non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis which usually occurs as single lesion. Multiple lesions in adult is extremely rare which most clinical presentation affects only the skin and had no associated diseases. We reported a case of 55-year-old Thai female with multiple asymptomatic xanthogranuloma on face, neck and chest wall.  Her basic laboratory investigations, chest radiography and serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) were normal. The treatment with isotretinoin 10 mg/day was started. After 3 months of follow-up, the skin lesions were improved.
