Yellow nodules
Skin changes that result from storage in serum lipoproteins in macrophages. These can occur both in hyperlipidaemia (as the first clinical sign) and in normolipidaemia.
Xanthelasma are flat xanthomas of the eyelids, although strictly speaking they are an entity in their own right.
Both a quantitative increase of serum lipids and a disturbed degradation of lipoproteins can be causative.
Xanthelasma
Can occur almost anywhere, especially trunk, extensor sides, glutal region, over tendons, interdigitally.
