It occurs in the absence of yellow discoloration of the sclera. Carotenemia is a benign condition; hence, further diagnostic testing is unnecessary. - **Case presentation:** A 43-year-old gentleman with a history of chronic abdominal pain, heartburn, and poor oral intake for the past 6 months. He had noticed yellow-orange discoloration of both hands and feet for the past few weeks. He denied pruritus, darkening of the urine, and pale stools. Physical exam was significant for yellow-orange discolorations on the dorsal and ventral aspects of both hands, soles of both feet and axillae. Vital signs were within normal limits. Liver function test, coagulation profile, albumin, platelets, and thyroid function were within normal limits.
