Eruptive neutrophilic xanthomas.
Cutaneous eruptive xanthomas are characteristics lesions of hyperlipidemia. Rarely,these lesions may present with prominent leukocytoclasis as seen in papular neutrophilic xanthomas, which have been described in HIV positive and immunocompromised patients. Herein we describe a patient with eruptive neutrophilic xanthomas with neither hyperlipidemia nor immunocompromise. Moreover, these lesions improved with sun and UV light exposure.
