Familial homozygous hypercholesterolemia with arcus cornea and xanthomas: A rare but serious entity
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a rare but life‐threatening disorder. Skin manifestations can be its only manifestation. We present a case of a fifteen‐year‐old female child, with multiple eruptive xanthomas, xanthomas anarcus, and a deranged lipid profile consistent with FH. The presence of t...

description | Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a rare but life‐threatening disorder. Skin manifestations can be its only manifestation. We present a case of a fifteen‐year‐old female child, with multiple eruptive xanthomas, xanthomas anarcus, and a deranged lipid profile consistent with FH. The presence of this manifestation especially in the younger age group should draw attention to hypercholesterolemia. A timely diagnosis is fundamental to prevent serious complications and for early treatment. |
