ABSTRACT Normolipemic eruptive xanthomas are a very rare skin disorder in children. They most often occur in the context of primary or secondary lipid metabolism disorders, but sometimes no systemic involvement or lipid disorder is found. We report a 3 year old boy with multiple yellowish papules on the eyelids, trunk and superior extremities since he was 2 years old, with a normal lipid profile. We consider it is important to report this case due to its low prevalence
