Eruptive xanthomas are benign lesions which are found in extensor surfaces of the extremities and are often associated with hypertriglyceridemia and/or uncontrolled diabetes. In this case report, we present a patient with hypertriglyceridemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus and eruptive xanthomas who recovers fully after treatment. A 37-year-old male patient presented to our clinic with reddish yellow lesions on his elbows. His body mass index was 30 kg/m(2) and his laboratory results showed high serum triglyceride and glucose levels (triglyceride 6548 mg/dL, glucose 245 mg/dL), his hemoglobin A1c was 11.2%. Although eruptive xanthomas have a benign nature, they are associated with disease which often need lifelong treatment.
