Early recognition of the hyperlipoproteinemias is a crucial element in preventing premature coronary artery disease. Xanthomas provide a cutaneous marker of the silent, underlying pathology. Identifying them, and understanding their relation to the inherited hyperlipoproteinemias may facilitate early diagnosis of hyperlipoproteinemias in pediatric patients. The dermatologist plays an important role in identifying these lesions and in subsequently facilitating prompt referral and treatment.
