Jun 2nd, 2020 - Figure 2. Xanthelasmata around the eyelids. Biopsy of cutaneous lesions, such as xanthomas and xanthelasmas, can be helpful in cases in which the diagnosis of FH is unclear. Xanthelasmas and xanthomas of FH will contain accumulated cholesterol, wh...

Jun 2nd, 2020 - Most patients (60%) with untreated heterozygous FH develop tendon xanthomas by the third decade of life. However, tendon xanthomas are not pathognomonic for heterozygous FH, and careful differential diagnosis is required. Tendon xanthomas in patie...

Feb 15th, 2018 - Cutaneous involvement was present in less than 1. 2% of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and was associated with reduced overall survival, according to the results of a small, retrospective analysis.

May 26th, 2016 - Physical Examination Patients with very elevated LDL-C levels in whom Lp(a) is also high may present with other outward stigmata of dyslipidemia. Visualization of the eye may reveal evidence of severe dyslipidemia with arcus cornea.
