ABSTRACT
Background: Xanthelasma palpebrarum is a most common form of xanthoma characterized as lesion with yellowish colour, flat, soft, and mostly found in medial corner of eyelids. Most cases of xanthelasma are associated with hyperlipidemia. Case Reports: A male aged 37 presented with yellow patches on both upper eyelids since ±2 years ago. Vital sign within normal limid. Dermatological examination found yellowish plaques with clear boundaries sized 0.5 cm located on medial canthus of the supraorbital dextra and sized 1 cm located on medial canthus of the supraorbital sinistra. Laboratory test showed that hypercholesterolemia. The patient then underwent excision surgical procedure. Discussion: Xanthoma is a plaque consisted abnormal deposition of lipid and foam cells. Generally, this condition is found in aged 40–60 years old. The condition is found more in females than males, on superior palpebrae as the most common location. Diagnosis is established based on history and dermatological evaluation. The aim of xanthelasma management is mostly cosmetic-related. Elliptical or fusiform excision is the most method applied. Conclusion: A 37 years old male with xanthelasma palpebrarum on bilateral upper eyelids with hypercholesterolemia was treated with surgical excision. The surgical wound appeared well later on the 6th days and a month post-surgery.
