Abstract

A patient is described who had generalized plane xanthomas, cutaneous vasculitis, peliosis hepatis, and intraabdominal giant lymph node hyperplasia of the plasma cell type. After excision of the abdominal mass, the xanthomas resolved and the liver returned to its normal size, but the patient continued to develop skin lesions. A review is presented of the cutaneous manifestations of giant lymph node hyperplasia.
