Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma is a rare dermatological manifestation of underlying hematological malignancies, in particular, when associated with paraproteinemia. These patients who are clinically symptomatic with chronic papules, nodules or plaques which demonstrate a histopathological pattern suggestive of extensive and frequently confluent areas of necrobiosis with granulomatous infiltration, warrant evaluation for an underlying monoclonal gammopathy.
