Abstract:

Xanthomas are focal infiltrates of lipid-containing histiocytic foam cells that are usually found within the dermis or tendons. It is a clinical manifestation of lipoprotein metabolic disorders. We report a case of tuberous xanthoma in a 45-year-old woman who presented with multiple firm papules and nodules involving multiple sites of the body including the amputated right forearm with elevated serum cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and VLDL.
