Abstract
A case of necrobiotic xanthogranuloma treated with plasmapheresis is reported. This entity is characterized by multiple inflammatory, ulcerative nodules and atrophic plaques with a xanthomatous quality that develop in conjunction with a paraproteinemia. Successful healing of ulcerated lesions and lowering of the paraproteinemia was achieved by plasmapheresis in our patient with necrobiotic xanthogranuloma when cytotoxic therapy failed.Entities:
