Xanthomas

Xanthoma is a lipid deposition disease with prominent skin damage. Lipid-phagocytic cells are localized in the dermis and tendons, and clinically appear as yellow, orange, or brown-red papules, nodules, or plaques. It is often accompanied by systemic lipid metabolism disorders and cardiovascular system damage, which can be primary or secondary to other systemic diseases.
