Clinical significance and treatment of xanthomas.
Xanthomas are important clinical manifestations of a variety of disorders, including lipoprotein abnormalities, hypothyroidism, diabetes and certain forms of cancer. Many patients with these lesions are also at risk for premature atherosclerosis. Family physicians are often the first to recognize xanthomas. Early detection and identification of the lesions leads to appropriate diagnosis and treatment of the related diseases.
