We observed a 73‐year‐old man with necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NXG) on the eyelids and concurrent multiple myeloma. The treatment was surgery followed by administration of melphalan. No relapse was seen in 19 months of follow‐up. We consider that surgical removal of xanthogranuloma is an advisable rapid treatment that involves fewer side‐effects than other treatments.
