Abstract: Xanthosis cutis (xanthosis, xanthochromia, xanthoderma, ca- rotenoderma) comes etymologically from the word ξανθος (xanthos = yellow) refers to the unspecific orange-yellowish coloration of the skin [1], it is mainly due to the elevation of carotenes in blood, which generally affects palms, soles, nasolabial and axillary folds; without involvement of sclerae, except in exceptional cases where the whole skin is affected [2].
