我们的服务/去除多伦多黄斑病
什么是黄瘤？
黄褐斑，也称为胆固醇沉积物，是平坦的黄色斑块，最常见于眼睑的内角。它们多见于上眼睑，但可同时在所有四个眼睑上发现。通常，它们对称地出现在两只眼睛上。它们的质地可以从软到硬变化，但是它们不会影响眼睛的功能。斑块的大小会缓慢增长，因此必须进行手术干预以消除斑块。它们更常见于40到50年代的人群中，女性相对于男性而言更为常见。它们没有致癌的潜力，但与胆固醇高的人有关。
有哪些体征和症状？
黄褐斑的特征是眼内角出现黄色扁平斑块。如果您的胆固醇高，则很可能患有黄褐斑。请咨询您的家庭医生以确认诊断。黄褐斑也可以预测心脏疾病，因此请务必咨询医生以进行可能需要做的任何检查。

我可以接受哪种测试？
您的医生通常可以仅通过视觉检查来识别黄瘤。有时，将一部分病变切除以进行测试的皮肤活检可能有助于诊断。
有哪些治疗选择？
Usually, no immediate treatment is necessary for xanthelasma. However, many people with xanthelasma do tend to seek treatment, especially since the lesion is always continually growing. This is usually for cosmetic reasons. Although they can be treated with laser, chemicals or by freezing it, surgical excision has the best results and the lowest chance of the lesion recurring. Make sure you see your doctor as soon as the signs of xanthelasma appear. If left too long, the lesion could grow so large that the surgery to excise it could affect the eyelid folds and eye margins.
我对手术有什么期望？
The surgical procedure to remove xanthelasma is quite easy. The surgery itself would typically take approximately 15 minutes. Local freezing would be used, and about 20-30 minutes would be added to the surgery time to allow for the freezing to set in. However, because of the local freezing, the patient would be fit to drive home afterwards. Once the specimen has been excised, it will be sent to a lab to be tested for any malignancy and to confirm the diagnosis. Stitches will be needed, and will typically be removed 5-14 days later, depending on the size and location of surgery. Redness is normal even after the stitches have been taken out, but after 4-6 months the scar should be hardly visible. There should be minimal to no pain after the local freezing has worn off, but Tylenol Extra Strength can be taken if there is.
有什么风险？
切除黄瘤的风险非常少，但可能包括感染，缝合反应，出血，瘀伤和疤痕。如果病变太大，也会影响眼睛的形状。请与您的医生谈谈您正在服用的任何药物以及过去是否有异常疤痕（瘢痕loid或肥厚性疤痕）。
