Verruciform xanthoma is a rare benign tumor first described by Shafer in 1971. It usually arises on the oral mucosa. An 11-year-old boy was referred to our outpatient clinic for evaluation of a lesion that had been present on the tongue for 6 weeks and was slightly tender on palpation. The child had been diagnosed with acute myeloblastic leukemia 4 years earlier and had received 2 allogeneic bo...

Background: Xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP) is a common cutaneous xanthoma often associated with dyslipidemia. Carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) non-invasive method of monitoring subclinical atherosclerotic plaque formation and its progression. This study was conducted to assess the cardiovascular comorbidities in patients XP by measuring CIMT serum lipid profile. Materials Methods: A total ei...

RATIONALE Xanthomatosis associated with monoclonal gammopathy includes hyperlipidaemic xanthoma (HX), normolipidaemic xanthoma (NX) and necrobiotic xanthogranuloma (NXG). All three pathologies are characterized by skin or visceral lesions related to cholesterol accumulation, monoclonal immunoglobulin (MIg) and hypocomplementemia. The pathophysiology underlying NXG remains unknown although the i...

Xanthelasma can be treated with acids, laser or primary suture, all presenting frequent relapses besides being inefficacious in extensive cases. The authors present the functional and esthetic result of a female patient's case with extensive xanthelasmas on the upper and lower eyelids which were removed combined with upper and lower blepharoplasty, using the skin removed from the upper eyelids ...

SUMMARY We report the serial MR findings and histologic features of intracerebral xanthoma in a patient with hyperlipidemia. MR imaging revealed nodule formations with variable degrees of edema and enhancement in the perivascular spaces. In some lesions, high-signal-intensity foci were observed on unenhanced T1-weighted images, which suggest lipid contents of the lesion.
