title: [Chylomicronemia syndrome in 45 years old man].
abstract: The case of chylomicronemia syndrome in 45 year old man, previously misdiagnosed as hypercholesterolemia is described. Secondary causes of hyperlipoproteinemia were excluded. No symptoms, characteristic of familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency were observed. We concluded that the diagnosis of hyperlipoproteinemia has to be based on determination of all plasma lipids concentrations (total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol). Otherwise a false diagnosis is quite possible. In rare cases additional laboratory tests are needed.
