LOKAL BİR LEZYONDAN SİSTEMİK TEŞHİSE: KSANTOMLAR VE HİPERKOLESTEROLEMİ

Plastik cerrahi ameliyatlarının büyük bir kısmını cilt lezyonlarının ve cilt altı kitlelerinin çıkartılması oluşturmaktadır. Genellikle tek başına bulunan bu lezyonlar bazen de sistemik bir hastalığın habercisi olabilirler. Kliniğimize vücudunda çok sayıda kitle şikayetiyle başvuran 29 yaş kadın hastada, kitlelerin patoloji sonucunun ksantom ile uyumlu gelmesinin ardından hastada hiperkolesterolemi olabileceği düşünüldü. İleri tetkik ve gerekli konsültasyonlar sonrası hastanın yaşam kalitesini arttıracak uygun lipid düşürücü tedavi başlandı

FROM A LOCAL LESION TO A SYSTEMIC DIAGNOSIS: XANTHOMAS AND HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA

The majority of plastic surgery operations is constituted of the excision of skin and subcutaneous masses. In general, these lesions are solitary but sometimes they can be precursors of a systemic disease. A 29-year-old female patient came to our outpatient clinic, complaining of several cutaneous masses on her body. After the excisional surgery, pathology result was consistent with xanthoma. The patient was thought to have hypercholestrolemia. Lipid lowering therapy, that decreases the morbidity of the disease, was iniated according to further laboratory works and appropriate consultations
