Xanthoma
A xanthoma is a small, lump-like growth on the skin that is filled with an abnormal amount of yellowish or orange-colored fat. Xanthomas are caused by a buildup of cholesterol in the skin, typically in people with high levels of cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in their blood. They are usually harmless and can appear anywhere on the body, but may be more common on the elbows, knees, hands, feet, or eyelids.
Xanthomas
Xanthomas refer to small, benign growths or lesions that are made of fatty tissue under the skin, typically yellowish in color due to the presence of lipid deposits. They can appear anywhere on the body and are often associated with genetic conditions such as familial hypercholesterolemia, where the body's ability to remove low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol from the bloodstream is impaired, causing cholesterol to accumulate in the skin, tendons, and other tissues.
