We recently had occasion to diagnose eruptive xanthoma. The significance of this cutaneous finding is that it is indicative of an underlying hypertriglyceridemic state. Appropriate dietary changes, correction of secondary factors, along with the addition of antihyperlipidemic drugs as required, will lower the plasma triglyceride level and allow the xanthomatous lesions to resolve.
