Abstract
- Recently, we have experienced two cases of xanthogranuloma in adults presenting either a solitary papule or multiple papules. Laboratory findings including blood lipid substances such as cholesterol and triglyceride were within normal limits. In both cases, we could not find any other extracutaneous manifestations. Granulomatous infiltrates containing foam cells, foreign body giant cells and Touton giant cells as well as histiocytes and lymphocytes were revealed by histopathologic findings.
