Niemann-Pick disease and juvenile xanthogranuloma. Are they related?
Niemann-Pick disease is a rare autosomal recessive lipidosis with accumulation of sphingomyelin in multiple organs due to sphingomyelinase deficiency. Cutaneous lesions are uncommon. We describe a case of Niemann-Pick disease with multiple cutaneous papules and nodules resembling juvenile xanthogranuloma.
