Answer:
Xanthelasma refers to xanthomas that occur in the eyelids. Xanthomas
are lipid accumulations in tissues in association with large foam cells.
Xanthelasma are usually plaque-like, yellow lesions, which are often found
near the inner canthus. Treatment consists of surgical excision or CO2
laser. Whatever method is used, they can be frustrating because they are
prone to recur.
