Xanthelasma palpebrarum, a benign xanthoma occurring around the eyes, are treated using lasers like carbon dioxide, argon, pulsed dye, YAG, and diode(1450) laser .Several studies on PDL for xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP) have been reported from abroad but as per our knowledge there are no Indian studies in this regard. We report the efficacy of pulsed dye laser in the management of xanthelasma palpebrarum in Indian patients.
