Xanthelasma
Definition:
(n.) See Xanthoma.
Example Sentences:
(1) The normolipemic and hyperlipemic groups with xanthelasma were compared with two control groups (one a group of normolipemic patients and another a group of hyperlipemic patients without xanthelasma) selected as homogeneously as possible with regard to age, sex, degree of obesity, and hyperlipemic phenotype.
(2) Xanthelasma palpebrarum is the most common xanthoma and is associated with other xanthomas or hyperlipemia syndromes in only 5 percent of the patients--even though one third of the affected patients have an elevated serum cholesterol level.
(3) A large xanthelasma which had been present for at least 5 years was removed surgically from a normolipaemic female age 54 years, and examined in the fresh state by differential scanning calorimetry.

(10) The other miscellaneous manifestations include urticaria, xanthelasma and systemic lupus erythematosis.
(11) Lipid islets (xanthomas, xanthelasmas) occur rather frequently in gastric mucosa; such islets have been described in the esophagus just recently.
(12) On the basis of two personal cases and a review of the literature, we have attempted to define endoscopic and histologic features in gastric xanthelasma.
(13) This technique can be used therefore as a diagnostic tool to detect pathologies of skin lipids, or of tissue lipid metabolism, as for example in normolipidemic patients presenting corneal arcus or xanthelasmas.
(14) A case of xanthelasma palpebrarum with extensive and disfiguring involvement of all four eyelids in a patient without abnormal serum lipid levels is reported.
(15) The distinction between sub-varieties of the nodular sclerosing type and particular forms of the disease (interfollicular with necrosis, with xanthelasma, or epithelioid pseudo-metastatic cells) clearly demonstrates the large polymorphism of the ganglionic lesions.
(16) The only significant differences found among the groups, regardless of the presence of hyperlipemia, were the increased levels of total and high-density lipoprotein phospholipids, and lower levels of apolipoprotein B, found in the group with xanthelasmas.
