Abstract
- We report a case of type IIa hyperlipoproteinemia associated with xanthoma planum and xanthoma striatum palmare. The laboratory findings showed increased serum cholesterol and triglyceride on the lipid profile, and an increased beta fraction on electrophoresis of lipoprotein, suggesting type IIa hyperlipoproteinemia. The biopsy specimens of orange yellow colored plaques on the left axillary area of a 54-year-old female showed characteristic findings of xanthoma.
