Quick Summary:

• Diffuse Plane Xanthomatosis (DPX) is the widespread occurrence of flat yellow-orange lesions (known as xanthomas) on skin, mostly due to an underlying systemic disorder
• In nearly 50% of the cases, the systemic illness is a blood-related disorder such as leukemia or multiple myeloma. In some individuals, an association with a metabolic condition, such as familial hyperlipemia or biliary cirrhosis is noted
• It is important to note that the presence of xanthomas may be reported several years before other significant symptoms of the underlying condition are manifested. Thus, a diagnosis of Diffuse Plane Xanthomatosis needs to be followed through with other suitable tests and procedures to diagnose the underlying systemic condition
• Diffuse Plane Xanthomatosis is generally observed in adults. The lesions are usually painless and numerous, appearing in patches. They can be present anywhere in the body; commonly on the back, chest, shoulders, face and neck
• The main treatment involves treating the underlying systemic disorder causing Diffuse Plane Xanthomatosis. The skin (xanthomatous) lesions may be treated through laser therapy, abrasion therapy, or surgery
• The prognosis for Diffuse Plane Xanthomatosis is good with suitable treatment of the underlying condition causing the skin lesions. However, in some individuals, DPX is not known to respond well to therapy
