Xanthomatosis of the Lids | |
These tumors can affect the lids, the orbit, the corneo-scleral limbus, the conjunctiva and the lacrimal sac. They consist of fibroblasts with lipid-laden histiocytes and multinucleated giant Touton cells. They are a subgroup of Xanthelasmata and frequently are associated with increased blood lipids. | |
