Yellow disease
The occurrence of yellow colored patches in the skin that resemble a condition known as xanthoma. Whereas xanthoma on the skin takes the form of yellow plaques or nodules, yellow disease does not. Plaques and nodules are both areas on or in the body that appear different from other tissue, with nodules being more swollen and bumpy. In this sense of the word, yellow disease is also known as yellow skin, xanthochromia, xanthoderma, cholesterodoma, xanthochroia, and xanthopathy.
