A case report of a non-diabetic alcoholic patient (ethanol intake >220 g/d) who experienced severe hypertriglyceridemia (12.679 mg/dL) without pancreatitis or detectable genetic factors responsible for severe dyslipidemia is described. Following the normalization of triglyceride and cholesterol levels, through lipid-free parenteral nutrition therapy, a regimen of alcohol withdrawal and a well-balanced diet with less than 10% saturated fat maintained a normal lipid profile without requiring any lipid-lowering drug. The absence of organ damage in the patient is likely to be attributed to the short duration of the elevated triglyceride peak. The treatment of this disorder does not necessarily require LDL-apheresis but can be simply managed by parenteral therapy provided that no other risk factors are present.
