Hyperlipoproteinemias*

We report a case of type IIb hyperlipoproteinemia associated with xanthoma tuberosum, xanthoma planum and xanthoma striatum. Serum lipoprotein electrophoresis showed increased beta fraction and pre-beta fraction, suggesting type IIb hyperlipoproteinemia.

Primary xanthoma of the bone is a rare benign neoplasm, and it is extremely rare to find this in the ribs. It is most commonly reported in soft tissue and it associated with hyperlipoproteinemia. A 54-years-old male who complained of left chest pain had an X-ray taken. It revealed a left 3rd rib tumor. The blood examinations for lipid and protein were normal. A resection was done for tissue examination. The mass was histolopathologically diagnosed as a xanthoma.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between serum lipid and lipoprotein values and cerebrovascular accidents. Serum lipids and lipoproteins were measured in 130 cases of normal Korean, 49 patients with cerebrovascular accidents and 35 patients with uncomplicated essential hypertension. The results were summarized as follows; 1. The mean values of serum lipids in patients with cerebrovascular accidents were 148.3+/-75.3mg% for triglyceride, 189.6+/-37.4mg% for cholesterol, 132.5+/-55.2mg% for phospholipid and 548.8+/-106.3mg% for total lipid. 2. The mean values of serum lipoproteins in patients with cerebrovascular accidents were 255.3+/-81.6mg% for beta-lipoprotein, 118.3+/-73.7mg% for pre-beta-lipoprotein and 183.6+/-65.5mg% for alpha-lipoprotein. 3. There were no significant differences of sex and age in the mean values of serum lipids and lipoproteins in patients with cerebrovascular accidents. 4. In general the mean concentrations of serum lipids and lipoproteins, except phospholipid and alpha-lipoprotein, in patients with cerebrovascular accidents and hypertension were significantly elevated than in normal control subjects. 5. There were no significant differences in serum lipid and lipoprotein values between various types of cerebrocasculr accidents. 6. The change of serum lipid and lipoprotein values had a decreasing tendency till one month after onset, thereafter the values became similar to to\hose of early period of illness. 7. The incidence of hyperlipoproteinemia in patients with cerebrovascular accidents was 64%, and the most frequent type of hyperlipoproteinemia was Type IIa, as the frequency decreased in the order of Type IV, Type IIb and Type III.

We experienced a case of a 30 year-old male with hyperlipoproteinemia associated with xanthoma tuberosum and xanthoma striatum palmare. The laboratory findings showed increased serum cholesterol and triglyceride on lipid profile, and widening of prep band on elec1rophoresis of lipoprotein. The biopsy specimens of orange yellow colored nodules on the elbow and yellow streaks on the palrnar creases showed characteristic findings of xanthoma. He had been treated with gempibrozil(lopid) for 1 month.

Experimental, epidemiological and clinical studies indicate and important relationship between abnormalities in serum lipoproteins and atherosclerosis. With the introduction in 1965 by Fredrickson and Lees of a system for phenotyping hyperlipoproteinemias, quantitation of pre-and beta-lipoproteins gained much significance, and hence, the development of simple method for studying serum lipids and lipoproteins is needed. In the past, several methods have been proposed for the estimation of serum lipoproteins by electrophoresis. Authors observed serum total lipoprotein, beta-lipoprotein, pre-beta-lipoprotein and alpha-lipoprotein fractions in 80 (male:40, female;40)normal individuals with electrophoesis using cellulose acetate membrane instead of filter paper and concluded as follow: 1) Total lipoprotein and beta-lipoprotein levels had increasing tendency according to aging on both sexes. 2) Serum pre-beta-lipoprotein level also had increasing tendency according to age on both sexes and these features are more conspicious after fifth decade. 3) Electrophoresis using cellulose acetate membrance seem to be convinient method for analysis of serum lipoproteins especially pre-beta-lipoprotein fraction. 4) This method can be likely applied as routine screening test of hyperlipemia.
