Abstract
A case of plane xanthomatosis in a 67-year-old woman, suffering from c hronic lymphatic leukaemia, who developed asymptomatic yellow plaques on the neck, upper arms and chest is reported. Histology was suggestiv e of xanthelasma. Development of plane xanthomata has been reported in association with various haematological malignancies and with benign monoclonal gammopathies, but not previously with chronic lymphatic leu kaemia.
