Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma. Is there a history of multiple myeloma?

[size=4][color=#000000][font=Arial, sans-serif]The presence of foamy histiocytes in palisaded array around extensive collagen degeneration and many cholesterol clefts is indicative of necrobiotic xanthogranuloma. Facial site is likely to be the periorbital region. Patient should be screened for paraproteinemia, bearing in mind that necrobiotic xanthogranuloma may precede detectable serum paraprotein.[/font][/color][/size]
