Letter to the editor regarding the article, “young lady with bilateral yellowish lesions on her eyelids”

Abstract

We read the “test your knowledge” article by Ishak et al. with great interest. We commend the authors for their educative discussion about the case of a 26-year-old woman with bilateral xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP). We frequently encounter patients with XP in our plastic surgery clinic and feel that it is important to add several points regarding the treatment of this condition.
