Yellow skin
2. 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 skin does not. Plaques and nodules are both areas on or in the body that appear different from other tissue, with nodules being more swollen. In this sense of the word, yellow skin is also known as xanthochromia, xanthoderma, cholesterodoma, xanthochroia, and xanthopathy.
1. Any yellow coloring of the skin. This definition of yellow skin is also known as xanthoderma.
