Clinically, the patient presented with dry eyes and substantial periorbital edema with multiple yellow indurated plaques. He developed the condition 30 years prior to presentation at which time it was initially diagnosed as xanthelasma.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NXG) usually shows a stereotypical histopathologic presentation. However, few unusual cases have been published. We present a patient with NXG showing exceptional histopathologic features.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We also review the clinical presentations and treatments for this rare condition. METHOD: Case report and review of necrobiotic xanthogranuloma. RESULTS: A 48-year-old man presented with a right parotid mass.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Dense sheets of foamy histiocytes were present in the dermis and contained foci of necrobiosis. Numerous Touton giant cells were present and cholesterol clefts were prominent. Special stains for organisms were negative.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract A uniquely indolent case of necrobiotic xanthogranuloma with bilateral, periorbital involvement was presented. This patient presented with cutaneous eyelid lesions of 20 years' duration.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

If there is deeper extension of the lesions into the orbit, patients may report blurred vision, diplopia, or transient vision loss and may develop proptosis, strabismus, scleritis, keratitis, iritis, and conjunctivitis. 1,3,4 Since the first description[aao.org]

Periorbitaledema and plaques improved during a 6-month regimen of acitretin but returned to baseline just months after discontinuation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Dermatologic examination revealed substantial periorbitaledema with multiple yellow indurated plaques (Figure). There were no additional findings on physical examination. Bilateral periorbitaledema with yellow indurated plaques (A).[mdedge.com]
Examination revealed yellow, firm papules coalescing into plaques causing cicatricial lagophthalmos, with surrounding erythema, and bilateral periorbitaledema (Fig. 1 ).[karger.com]
He was a human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carrier who had a high titer of circulating anti-HTLV-1 antibodies and neurologic abnormalities that suggested HTLV-1-associated myelopathy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma with paraproteinemia is a progressive and destructive process that is often confused both clinically and histologically with other granulomatous and xanthomatous entities.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This 52-year-old man, in whom NXG with all its cutaneous manifestations had been diagnosed, presented with three episodes of generalized tonic-clonicseizures.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Systemic workup demonstrated paraproteinemia consistent with necrobiotic xanthogranuloma and a complete blood count consistent with leukemia.[uthealth.influuent.utsystem.edu]
Progress logically from the histologic pattern, through the appropriate workup, around the pitfalls, to the best diagnosis.[books.google.com]
After the hematologic and oncologic workup was completed, intravenous immunoglobulin and acitretin were recommended to the patient as viable treatment options to reduce the cutaneous sequelae of NXG.[mdedge.com]
NXG Treatment Patients diagnosed with NXG should be referred to a hematologist-oncologist for a workup (potentially including serum protein immunoelectrophoresis, flow cytometry, and/or bone marrow biopsy).[aao.org]
treatment', both in English and German, about 'human' subjects and published between 1980 and 2014, documenting adequate treatment for NXG.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This combined treatment resulted in flattening of the NXG lesions and a reduction of symptomatic pruritus within the treatment zone.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The rationale for this treatment was the successful use of PUVA treatment in other necrobiotic conditions such as granuloma annulare and necrobiosis lipoidica.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The treatment of these lesions represents a true challenge for the clinician and palliative treatment of cutaneous lesions of NXG with CO(2) laser may constitute an alternative treatment in selected cases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Additional treatment options include corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, lenalidomide, interferon, radiation therapy, and surgery. In some cases, the symptoms of NXG may return after treatment.[rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
This disease is a chronic process, and a patient's prognosis depends on the degree of extracutaneous involvement and the presence of visceral malignancies.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The prognosis for NXG is good, but no curative treatment is available.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
NXG prognosis is poor with several treatments showing variable results. Treatment of monoclonal gammopathy with alkylating agents does not necessarily influence the activity of the skin disease and vice versa.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The overall prognosis is favorable with the exception of those patients who develop hematopoetic malignancy. The dermatologie manifestations may pursue three clinical courses: spontaneous resolution; remain persistent; or rarely, progress.[mussenhealth.us]

Due to the rarity and uncertain etiology, there are no definitive first-line therapies. Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NXG) was first described in 1980 by Kossard and Winkelmann 1 as a xanthomatosis associated with paraproteinemia.[mdedge.com]
