  • Title: [Extensive xanthelasma--a surgical solution: case report].
    Author: Pereira FJ, Velasco e Cruz AA, Guimarães Neto HP, Ludvig CC.
    Journal: Arq Bras Oftalmol; 2008; 71(4):592-4. PubMed ID: 18797676.
    Abstract:
    Xanthelasma can be treated with acids, laser or primary suture, all presenting frequent relapses besides being inefficacious in extensive cases. The authors present the functional and esthetic result of a female patient's case with extensive xanthelasmas on the upper and lower eyelids which were removed combined with upper and lower blepharoplasty, using the skin removed from the upper eyelids to cover the defect in the lower, and vice-versa.
