title: Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma with two monoclonal paraproteins and no periorbital involvement at presentation.
abstract: A patient with necrobiotic xanthogranuloma is presented to highlight the clinico-pathological features of this rare condition which must be differentiated from atypical necrobiosis lipoidica. The patient is unusual in that he has two associated monoclonal paraproteins and did not have periorbital involvement at presentation.
