Abstract:
We describe a case of xanthoma on the corneoscleral limbus in a 21-year-old man. It was characterized by a localized, round, elevated, yellowish mass on the right superonasal limbus with 6mm in size. There was no correlation with systemic or metabolic diseases such as hyperlipidemia and the microscopic examination revealed scanty fibrous element.
