Adult multiple xanthogranuloma (XG) is a rare late-onset variant of juvenile XG. It is characterized by the appearance of papules or nodules located preferably on the trunk. A case of a 54-year-old man with myelodysplastic syndrome is presented as a history of interest, who consulted due to the appearance of multiple brownish papules distributed mainly in the trunk. So far, there are only 22 cases of this clinical form reported in the literature, 9 of them associated with malignant hematological processes. We highlight the importance of this entity as a possible cutaneous marker of blood dyscrasias.
about 80% within 2 years. 2 Radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy bleomycin, steroid, and 5-FU injections can be combined with surgery, but there are scarce information concerning specific techniques, doses, or success rate. [2][3][4] Many studies have reported successful treatment with laser therapy, whose best results are obtained, when using intense pulsed light or fractional lasers. However, when used in monotherapy, laser therapy shows recurrence rates similar to conventional surgery alone (45%-100%). 5 We present a new technique for recalcitrant auricular keloids, which combines surgery, contact cryotherapy, intralesional injections of 5-FU, and TA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
