Amongst these are relatively rare entities such as bowenoid papulosis, epidermolytic acanthoma, and verruciform
xanthoma, which are underrecognized by surgical pathologists.
* The differential diagnosis for eruptive
xanthoma includes
xanthoma disseminatum, non-Langerhans cell histiocytoses (eg, generalized eruptive histiocytosis), and cutaneous mastocytosis.
Other studies have shown presentation of these lesions in normolipemic animals, such as tracheal granulomatosis in a red-tailed hawk, (4) a periosseous xanthogranulomatosis in a fledgling great horned owl (Bubo virginianus), (2) and cutaneous
xanthoma in a cat.
Histologically, XP can be distinguished from the rest of
xanthomas by its position in the upper part of the dermis allowing it as an ideal target for laser therapy.5 Different laser modalities were used in the treatment of xanthelasma including CO2 laser, Er:YAG laser, Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, pulsed dye laser, and diode laser.

xanthoma of the oral mucosa: a clinicpathological study with immunohistochemical findings relating to pathogenesis," Virchows Archiv A Pathological Anatomy and Histopathology, vol.
FH patients often present with external cholesterol depositions around their eyes (xanthelasmas) or joints (
xanthomas) and are particularly prone to premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) [5].
Biopsy of the esophageal nodule showed numerous foamy histiocytes in the lamina propria consistent with
xanthoma (Figures 2(a), 2(b), and 2(c)).
XGPN is an atypical form of chronic pyelonephritis characterized by the destruction of the renal parenchyma and replacement with a chronic inflammatory infiltrate of lipid laden macrophages, known as
xanthoma cells.
Lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates,
xanthoma cells, hemosiderin, and calcification were observed.
These tumors were previously described as localized nodular synovitis, fibrous
xanthoma, or pigmented villonodular tenosynovitis.

xanthoma, fibroma, or plasma cell tumor," The Journal of Thoracic Surgery, vol.
Xanthoma cells (foamy histiocytes) are usually easy to find in pleomorphic sarcomas.
Setting the diagnosis of FEH is important to ensure differential diagnosis from other more serious conditions including inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, inflammatory papillary hyperplasia, verruciform
xanthoma, verrucous carcinoma, condyloma acuminatum, Cowden's Syndrome, Crohn's disease, and Amyloidosis.
Dubai: Try spelling the words syzygy, thallophyte,
xanthoma, taupe or simulacrum each in less than two minutes on the spot without the aid of your trusted friend -- Google -- or a dictionary?
Diagnosis of heFH required evidence of the Simon-Broome criteria [23] except that we did not require evidence of tendinous
xanthoma in family members since
xanthomas are prevented by early treatment and somewhat uncommon in young family members.
