eruptive xanthoma
xanthoma eruptivum a benign skin tumor consisting of a group of small yellow to orange papules surrounded by a reddish halo, usually on the buttocks, posterior thighs, knees, or elbows. Onset is sudden; lesions may be intensely pruritic and may ulcerate. It is caused by high concentrations of plasma triglycerides, such as with a deficiency of lipoprotein lipase, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, pancreatitis, or certain other conditions, and it usually disappears when the underlying condition is corrected. See also tuberoeruptive x. Called also diabetic x.
