Diffuse normolipemic plane xanthoma in a child with common variable immunodeficiency.

Diffuse plane xanthoma is extremely rare in children. Although it may be associated with systemic disorders, its etiology remains obscure in a number of patients. The case of a boy with common variable immunodeficiency and normal serum lipid levels, who developed diffuse plane xanthoma during treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins, is reported.
