Xanthomas: Clinical and pathophysiological relations

High-density lipoprotein deficiency in genetically modified mice deeply affects skin morphology: A structural and ultrastructural study

“…In humans, inherited or secondary hyperlipidemic conditions can associate with cutaneous yellowish focal lesions, due to excess lipid deposition, referred to as xanthomas or xanthelasmas [11,12]. Xanthomas can also arise in the presence of normal triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol plasma levels, but in the absence of detectable apolipoprotein (apo)A-I, the main protein component of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) [13].…”

Primary Mandibular Xanthoma:Case Report and Review of the Literature

“…They are most commonly localized on hand and long bones, rib cranium and vertebra. [7][8][9][10] Primary jaw bone xanthomas are extremely rare and occur exclusively on mandible. The previously reported primary mandibuler lesions which are diagnosed as xanthoma or xanthomatous lesions are shown in Table 1.…”

Multiple Tuberous Xanthomas: A Diagnostic Dilemma on Cytology

“…Xanthomas may be divided into several categories: Tendinous xanthoma, xanthoma tuberosum, eruptive xanthoma, xanthoma planum, and palmar xanthoma. [4] The most commonly xanthomas among patients with familial hypercholesterolemia are tendinous xanthomas, which are subcutaneous tumours located within the tendons used for extension. [5,6] They usually present over pressure areas such as extensor aspect of elbows, knees and buttocks.…”
