Abstract:
We report a case of type III hyperlipoproteinemia which is called a broad-beta disease. A 53 year old female patient visited our clinic for the evaluation of multiple yellowish papules on extremities and eyelids. The patient showed various types of xanthoma includiiig eruptive, tuberous, tendinous xanthomas and xanthelasma palpebrarum, xanthoma striatum palmare. The blood chemistry revealed a marked elevstion of cholesterol and triglycerides and agarose gel electrophoresis showed a single peak at prebeta and beta portion without separation. On histopathologic studies, typical foam cells were showen.
