Abstract
Generalized (diffuse) plane xanthoma (GPX) is a normolipaemic xanthoma tosis that is very frequently associated with a haematological disorde r, and especially with monoclonal gammapathies, which it may precede b y several months or years. Here, we report a case of GPX associated wi th idiopathic Bence-Jones proteinuria, a very rare type of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. To our knowledge, this associ ation has not been previously described.
