xanthoma

Still, it is often classified simply as a subtype of xanthoma.

A xanthoma (pl.

The familial form is characterized by tendon xanthoma, xanthelasma and premature cardiovascular disease.

Xanthoma (local collections of cholesterol in the skin, especially around the eyes (xanthelasma))

Xanthoma can develop in the Achilles tendon in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia.

Xanthoma diabeticorum is a cutaneous condition that may result in young persons who are unresponsive to insulin.

A xanthelasma may instead be referred to as a xanthoma when becoming larger and nodular, assuming tumorous proportions.

Strictly, a xanthelasma is a distinct condition, only being called a xanthoma when becoming larger and nodular, assuming tumorous proportions.

Phytosterols accumulate and are over-absorbed in tissue, which causes premature coronary artery disease and tendon xanthoma.

Palmar xanthoma is clinically characterized by yellowish plaques that involve the palms and flexural surfaces of the fingers.

Papular xanthoma is a cutaneous condition that is a rare form of non-X histiocytosis.

Rayer's nodules: An xanthoma; yellowish nodules on the skin (often on the eyelids).

It should not be confused with xanthoma of the tendon, which is the accumulation of cholesterol in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia.

Touton giant cells are seen in lesions with high lipid content such as fat necrosis, xanthoma, and xanthogranulomas.

Normolipoproteinemic xanthomatosis is a cutaneous condition characterized by a xanthoma in the presence of normal cholesterol and lipoprotein levels.

Xanthoma striatum palmare is a cutaneous condition characterized by xanthomas of the palmar creases which are almost diagnostic for dysbetalipoproteinemia.

Xanthoma tuberosum (also known as tuberous xanthoma) is characterized by xanthomas located over the joints.

Eruptive xanthoma (ILDS E78.220) is clinically characterized by small, yellowish-orange to reddish-brown papules that appear all over the body.

Verruciform xanthoma is an uncommon benign lesion that has a verruciform (wart-like) appearance, but it may appear polypoid, papillomatous, or sessile.

Verruciform xanthoma is most likely not a human papillomavirus associated lesion and the foam cells in the lesions are most likely derived from the monocyte-macrophage lineage.

Tuberoeruptive xanthoma (ILDS E78.210) is clinically characterized by red papules and nodules that appear inflamed and tend to coalesce.

Signs of familial dysbetaproteinemia include xanthoma striatum palmare (orange or yellow discoloration of the palms) and tuberoeruptive xanthomas over the elbows and knees.

Hypercholesterolemia primarily during childhood, accelerated atherosclerosis in some adult patients leading to premature death, as well a hemolytic anaemia, arthralgias and tendon and tuberous xanthoma formations are other clinical features.

Xanthoma tendinosum (also known as "Tendinous xanthoma") is clinically characterized by papules and nodules found in the tendons of the hands, feet, and achilles.

A distinguishing feature of verruciform xanthoma is the presence of large numbers of lipid-laden foamy histiocytes in the lesion, and essentially limited to, the connective tissue papillae in the lesion.
