Özet
Objective: Xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP) are soft or hard yellow lipomatous plaques that are commonly located on the upper or lower eyelids and in the medial canthus. Various methods have been used in the treatment of XP. In this study, our aim was to investigate the efficacy of secondary healing after excision in the treatment of XP. Method: Thirteen patients with 29 lesions were enrolled on this study. After excision, the secondary healing of the lesions was investigated during a period of minimum two months minimum and 18 months maximum. Results: All lesions were removed with excision. After treatment, crusting was seen in 4-5 days and sloughing was observed within 6-8 days. The postoperative erythema disappeared in 14-24 days. Of the 13 patients, two (% 15,38) developed a recurrence within a mean follow-up period of ten months. In three patients (% 23,07) temporary complications were seen. The complications observed included minimal bleeding, local bacterial infection and minimal hypopigmentation. During follow-up, no patient had any complaints and they were all satisfied with the results. Conclusion: Because of the efficacy, cost-effectiveness and ambulatory applications of secondary healing after excision in the management of XP, this method is an appropriate choice of treatment.
