Xanthelasma palpebrarum je stanje, pri katerem mehke usedline, bogate s holesterolom, tvorijo rumenkaste izbokline ali zaplate na notranjih kotih vek. Je benigna in ne predstavlja večje nevarnosti za zdravje. Približno polovica odraslih z xanthelasma ima nenormalne ravni lipidov. Pri mlajših ljudeh, zlasti pri otrocih, lahko videnje xanthelasma nakazuje dedno motnjo lipidov. Zdravljenje xanthelasma je običajno iz kozmetičnih razlogov, saj običajno ni potrebno iz zdravstvenih razlogov.
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.
