Nevoxantho-endothelioma (McDonagh):Onset early in life. Groups of papules or nodules on extensor surfaces.Spontaneous involution.Normal blood lipoids.Characteristic histopathologic picture, including endothelial, as well as Touton, giant cells.2. Juvenile xanthoma:Usually presents characteristics of type 3...References1.

So-called extracellular cholesterosis of Urbach can also, I believe, be regarded as a variant of xanthoma tuberosum.1, 4 PreviousarticleNextarticle Advertisement FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Metrics Cited byHistiocytosis: Nosology and PathobiologyFamilial Hypercholesterolaemic Xanthomatosis and Coronary DiseaseHistiocytic tumors (fibrous xanthoma and histiocytoma) in childrenCLINICAL OBSERVATIONS REGARDING XANTHELASMA*JOSEPH B.
