Yellow fatty plaques on the eyelids, due to hypercholesterolaemia.
The formation of little yellow fatty tumours on the eyelids.
Condition marked by the formation of yellowish fatty deposits around the eyes, occurring chiefly in the elderly.
A yellow-orange bump beneath the surface of the skin (xanthoma) on the eyelids made of cholesterol deposits. Xanthelasmas are associated with an elevated blood cholesterol level. Although they may be unsightly, xanthelasmas are painless and are not cancerous. If the growths become bothersome, they can be surgically removed or treated with applications of trichloroacetic acid.
One or more yellow deposits of fatty material in the skin around the eyes. In elderly people it is quite common and of no more than cosmetic importance, but severe cases may be seen in certain disorders of fat metabolism.
Yellow smooth nodules of lipid-laden cells occur in and around the eyelids. Blood lipids are usually normal, but there is an association with hypercholesterolaemia in a minority, so persons reporting this condition should have their blood tested.
A yellow, lipid-rich plaque (a xanthoma) present on the eyelids, especially near the inner canthus.
Xanthelasmas are yellowish fatty deposits that appear around the eyes, commonly seen in older individuals and usually considered harmless. However, in younger people, they could indicate hyperlipidemia, or elevated fat levels in the blood. If needed, these deposits can be surgically removed under local anesthesia. It’s also important to address any associated hyperlipidemia with appropriate treatment.
