Quick Summary:

• Palmar Xanthoma, or Palmar Crease Xanthoma, is the formation of yellowish lesions on the crease of palms, typically due to the metabolic condition familial dysbetalipoproteinemia, type III
• Familial dysbetalipoproteinemia (FD) is a hereditary disorder characterized by high amounts of lipids (fat) in the body and blood. In this disorder, there is defective breakdown or metabolism of lipids
• In Palmar Xanthoma, the lipids get deposited in the skin, underneath the skin (subcutaneous), and in the tendons. These are seen as multiple, soft yellow lipid-filled lumps on skin (xanthomas) or tendons
• Palmar Xanthoma is generally observed in young, middle-aged, and older adults. The lesions are usually painless, but numerous in the body. They can be present anywhere in the body; although, Palmar Xanthoma are only described in the folds of the palms
• In a majority of cases, treatment of the underlying lipid condition through diet control, exercises, and prescription medications, is undertaken. The xanthomas may be treated through laser therapy or surgery, if required
• The prognosis for Palmar Xanthoma is good with suitable treatment of the underlying condition causing the skin lesions. However, there is a chance of recurrence following treatment, if lipid levels again increase abnormally
