Xanthoma disseminatum (also known as "Disseminated xanthosiderohistiocytosis" and "Montgomery syndrome") is a rare cutaneous condition that preferentially affects males in childhood, characterized by the insidious onset of small, yellow-red to brown papules and nodules that are discrete and disseminated.

It is a histiocytosis syndrome.
