- Abstract
- A 55-year-old female presented with extensive yellowish eruptive plaques over both elbows and the buttocks that she had first noticed 2 years earlier. Yellowish orange discoloration of her palmar creases was noted. Her serum cholesterol and triglyceride were markedly elevated. Lipoprotein electrophoresis showed a broad β band. On apolipoprotein E genotyping, the arginine at position 158 had been replaced by cysteine in both alleles (E2/E2). Under a diagnosis of type III hyperlipoproteinemia, combined atorvastatin and fenofibrate therapy for 2 months normalized the serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
