Xanthomas can be associated with hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and thyroid dysfunction. Approximately 50% of adult patients with xanthelasma have abnormal lipid levels. These deposits are also prevalent in individuals with inherited dyslipidemia, such as familial hypercholesterolemia and hyperapobetalipoproteinemia. In younger individuals, particularly children, the presence of xanthelasma should prompt consideration of an underlying inherited dyslipidemia. Xanthelasma is a distinctive feature of PBC, frequently associated with significant hypercholesterolemia.🏁
