Abstract
The diffuse plane xanthoma (DPX) belongs to the class II of histiocytosis arising from the dermal dendritic cells (Histiocyte Society). The dominate role in the formation of the disease in the skin plays an accumulation of phagocytic immune complexes of macrophages. The clinical picture of the DPX is very specific and characterized by the appearance of periorbital xanthelasma and planar xanthomas on the skin of the trunk and extremities. The disease is often associated with hematological and lymphoproliferative diseases. The diagnosis is confirmed by histological examination.
