Abstract

A 71-year-old man with non-lipemic, generalized, plane xanthomas developed nodules and tumors within one month of starting indomethacin therapy. These enlarged and spread during 5 months of daily indomethacin but promptly and spontaneously involuted when the indomethacin was discontinued. Within 4 months, the nodules and tumors were completely gone. The process is viewed as an "indoderma", i.e. a granulomatous drug reaction, analogous to an iododerma.
