Abstract
In the presented case report, 27-year-old female patient consulted a dermatologist and a lipidologist due to the appearance of small red spots on the skin. At the stage of examination in the lipid center, the patient was diagnosed with diabetes. During additional examination in the department of endocrinology, the following diagnosis was made: "Newlu-diagnosed type 1 diabetes. Target glycated hemoglobin level 6,5%. Secondary dyslipidemia. Skin xanthomatosis". After the start of therapy, laboratory parameters improved and the number of eruptive xanthomas decreased. Eruptive xanthomatosis in clinical practice is rare, and requires apprehensive attitude of doctors of various specialties. Timely detection of lipid metabolism disorders allows patients to recommend not only rational measures to prevent the development and progression of atherosclerosis, but also to diagnose the causes of secondary dyslipidemia.
