Sir, Xanthogranuloma is a normolipemic non‐Langerhans‐cell histiocytosis. Though this condition predominantly occurs in infancy and childhood and is also called “juvenile xanthogranuloma”, around 10% of all affected patients are adult. Solitary lesions have been observed in approximately 90% of either juvenile or adult cases.1,2 The appearance of multiple lesions is rare in the juvenile form of xanthogranuloma and even rarer in the adult form. Here, we report a case with multiple adult xanthogranulomas who presented with brown, flat wart‐like papules on the face.
