ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Xanthomatosis, a metabolic disorder causing yellow growths (xanthomas), poses challenges in lipid metabolism. This case study introduces the first documented instance within China's Yi population, emphasizing the need to explore dietary habits and treatment strategies tailored to this specific community. CASESUMMARY:
Xanthomatosis is a metabolic disorder where lipid metabolism goes awry, resulting in the development of yellowish growths called xanthomas. A male patient, 47 years of age, from China's Yi population, who is obese, visited our dermatology clinic complaining of widespread, non-painful rashes that have been present for two weeks. The patient works as a chef and has a diet that frequently includes oily and greasy foods. This case represents the initial documentation of xanthomatosis within the Yi population in China, offering a theoretical foundation for understanding dietary patterns and treatment options specific to the Yi community.CONCLUSION:
The first report of xanthomatosis in the Yi population in China lays a theoretical foundation for understanding Yi dietary patterns and treatment.
