Abstract
We present the case of a 59-year-old male with multiple papules covering his arms and legs. A biopsy was suggestive for eruptive xanthomas. Additional biochemistry showed a triglyceride count of 900 mg/dL and a hemoglobin A1c of 11,4%. The diagnosis of diabetes mellitus was made, without other symptoms of weight loss, polydipsia or polyuria.
