The case report presents a man with an eruption of multiple, small, yellowish papules disseminated on the trunk and limbs. He reported

mild itching that accompanied the eruption. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of eruptive xanthomatosis. Laboratory

tests showed marked elevation of total cholesterol and triacylglycerides and a concurrent reduction in plasma HDL cholesterol concentration.

A complete regression of cutaneous manifestations as well as an improvement in lipid levels was achieved with fibrate treatment

and dietary and regimen measures.
