Abstract

Multiple adult-onset xanthogranuloma (AXG) is an unusual presentation of non-Langerhans cell histiocytoses. We have described the case of a 79-year-old patient who presented with the recent eruption of multiple cutaneous nodules over the neck, trunk and arms without any visceral involvement and the histopathological finding consistent with xanthogranuloma. Although rare, AXG remains one of the differential diagnoses of cutaneous xanthomatous disease in adults.
