Presentation
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. [unboundmedicine.com]
Entire Body System
- Lymphedema
If it's not working properly, fluid builds in your tissues and causes swelling, called lymphedema. Other lymphatic system problems can include infections, blockage, and cancer. [icdlist.com]

Abstract Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NXG) is an indolent non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis characterized by yellow xanthomatous plaques that tend to ulcerate. [unboundmedicine.com]
We have documented an unusual case of necrobiotic xanthogranuloma in a 58-year-old man with a history of recalcitrant and chronic arm and leg ulcerations in the absence of characteristic periorbital involvement. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] xanthogranuloma Disease definition Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma is a rare, chronic and progressive, non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis disease typically characterized by multiple, indurated, asymptomatic to pruritic, yellow-orange plaques or nodules that tend to ulcerate [orpha.net]
- Skin Lesion
Time to development of associated malignancy ranged from 8 years before the skin lesions to 11 years after the skin lesions. Overall survival was 100% at 10 years and 90% at 15 years (95% confidence limit, 0.73 to 1.00). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
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]
Serum
- Leukopenia
Laboratory studies showed mild leukopenia and a monoclonal gammopathy of the IgG lambda type on serum protein immunoelectrophoresis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is often accompanied by an elevated ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE; LEUKOPENIA; and MONOCLONAL GAMMOPATHY (IgG-kappa type) and systemic involvement. [rgd.mcw.edu]
Low complement levels, anemia, and leukopenia are frequently present. Bone marrow examination shows plasma cell proliferation and, rarely, true myeloma. [jamanetwork.com]
[…] adenopathy(2), uveitis(2), sinus NXG(1 ), pelvic wall NXG( 1 ), cardiac NXG( 1); Laboratory findings: elevated ESR(8/10), +ANA(7/13), +RF(4/13), cryoglobulins(2/J3), low CH50(5/12), low C4(6/l1), elevated cholesterol(7/12), elevated triglyceride(3/12), leukopenia [mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]
Biopsy
- Foam Cell
Not only subcutaneous involvement, but also, evident zones of degenerated collagen, foam cells, and cholesterol clefts were missing. Moreover, the case shows overlaps with recently published granulomatous scleromyxedema. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Foam cells, large numbers of necrotic inflammatory cells and cholesterol clefts are absent. Atypical giant cells are not prominent. Panniculitis is localized to the septa. In necrobiotic xanthogranuloma the lobules are extensively involved. [histopathology-india.net]
The histologic features of well-developed lesions are suggestive of the disorder and consist of diffuse dermal aggregates of foam cells with interspersed Touton-type wreath giant cells (8). [mussenhealth.us]
Histologically, the lesions are characterized by an inflammatory infiltrate of foam cells and Touton-type multinucleated giant cells. The xanthomatized histiocytes are CD68 +, S100 – and CD1a –. [actasdermo.org]
The distinctive histopathologic features of NXG consist of large bands of necrobiosis and a pattern of palisading histiocytic granulomas comprised of Touton giant cells, bizarre foreign body giant cells, foam cells, and cholesterol clefts. 8 These histopathologic [mdedge.com]

Treatment
treatment', both in English and German, about 'human' subjects and published between 1980 and 2014, documenting adequate treatment for NXG. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
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 prognosis for NXG is good, but no curative treatment is available. [scmsjournal.com]
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]

Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology underlying NXG remains unknown although the involvement of MIg is suspected. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As more cases are reported, we hope to better understand the pathophysiology and treatment of this disorder. References 1. hen KY, Leslie W, Mahon B, Venugopal P. [hematologyandoncology.net]
