title: [Dyslipoproteinemic xanthomas].
abstract: The authors recall the clinical and histochemical aspects of xanthomas and their relations with disturbances in serum lipids and lipoproteins. Experiments in animals and clinical studies in humans are then reviewed. In the light of these results, physiopathological mechanisms involved in development of xanthomas and their connections with atherogenesis are discussed.
