Abstract

Eruptive xanthomas are skin manifestations associated with hypertriglyceridemia. Accordingly, improvement of hypertriglyceridemia can ameliorate this condition. We report a case of a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus who was diagnosed with this skin lesion. Clinicians should be aware that eruptive xanthomas could indicate metabolic disorders associated with atherosclerosis.
