title: Treatment of large xanthomas by the use of blepharoplasty island musculocutaneous flaps.
abstract: We used an orbicularis oculi muscular pedicle musculocutaneous flap to close the defect resulting from removal of a large xanthoma from an Oriental upper eyelid. This is an excellent method not only to save eyelid skin but also to make a superior palpebral fold at the same time.
