Plexiform xanthomatous tumor. A report of three cases.
We describe three cases of plexiform xanthomatous tumor in middle-aged men. The tumors shared some morphological features with xanthoma, cholesterotic fibrous histiocytoma, and plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor. However, no hyperlipoproteinemia was found in our cases, and many morphological features distinguish the plexiform xanthomatous tumor from all the other entities.
