Xanthelasma palpebrarum je stav, pri ktorom mäkké usadeniny bohaté na cholesterol tvoria žltkasté hrbolčeky alebo škvrny na vnútorných rohoch očných viečok. Je benígna a nepredstavuje veľké zdravotné riziká. Približne polovica dospelých s xanthelasma má abnormálne hladiny lipidov. U mladších ľudí, najmä u detí, môže videnie xanthelasma naznačovať dedičnú poruchu lipidov. Liečba xanthelasma je zvyčajne z kozmetických dôvodov, pretože zvyčajne nie je potrebná zo zdravotných dôvodov.
Xanthelasma palpebrarum is primarily characterized by soft, lipid-rich deposits, especially cholesterol, manifesting as semisolid, yellowish papules or plaques. These deposits are typically found on the inner aspect of the eyes and are most commonly located along the corners of the upper and lower eyelids. Xanthelasma palpebrarum is a benign lesion and does not pose significant health risks. Approximately 50% of adult patients with xanthelasma have abnormal lipid levels. In younger individuals, particularly children, the presence of xanthelasma should prompt consideration of an underlying inherited dyslipidemia. Although xanthelasma treatment is typically not medically necessary, some patients may seek therapy for cosmetic reasons.
