Abstract

Abstract Tuberous xanthomas are nontender, yellow to red papules to nodules that occur on the extensor surface, and trauma-prone areas such as the elbows, knees, Achilles tendon, and buttocks. A 10-year-old female child born out of second-degree consanguineous marriage presented with multiple skin-colored nodular lesions on axillary folds, both elbows, cubital fossa, medial side of the wrist, interphalangeal joints, buttocks, knees, popliteal fossa, and Achilles tendons. After complete evaluation, diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia type IIa with tuberous xanthoma was made. Tuberous xanthoma usually presents in combined type III dyslipidemias, but in our case, it is presented in type IIa familial hypercholesterolemia. Early diagnosis and treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia are important for preventing complications.
