“…We can hypothesize that, as a result of the break in the endothelial barrier, there is an increase in flux across the endothelial membrane of albumin and glycosaminoglycans such as hyaluronic acid. These observations can be compared with the case of a 48-year-old man having normolipaemic eruptive xanthomas during an attack of ISCLS [22]. The eruption was transient and consisted in multiple erythematous and infiltrated papulonodular lesions.…”

Background: Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is a severe disorder characterized by unexplained rapid transfer of considerable volumes of plasma from the intravascular to the extravascular compartment. For some cases of SCLS, no aetiology is evident and these cases are reported as idiopathic (ISCLS). Objectives: To describe the cutaneous findings in 3 patients with ISCLS. Results: Cutaneous involvement consisted in sclerosis, livedo, purpura and photodistributed maculopapular erythematous rash. Dermal mucinosis was proven by biopsy in 1 patient. No underlying disease was diagnosed during follow-up. Conclusion: The above-mentioned cutaneous findings can be present during acute attacks of ISCLS. They seem specifically related to the ISCLS and not indicative of an underlying disease.

Xanthomatous hypophysitis: A novel entity of obscure etiology

et al. 1999

We report a case of xanthomatous hypophysitis, a recently described entity of obscure etiology affecting the pituitary gland, in a 43-yr-old woman, Histologically it is characterized by infiltration of the anterior pituitary by foamy histiocytes which are strongly immunoreactive for CD68 (histiocytic marker) and are immunonegative for 5100 and CD 1 a. Electron microscopy revealed histiocytes with abundant cytopasmic lipid droplets and membrane bound vacuoles. Fragments of intact anterior pituitary with preserved vascw lar and reticulin networks are seen. Xanthomatous hypophysitis resembles neoplasm on clinical and radiologic grounds.
