Xanthomas are subcutaneous lipid deposits containing macrophages loaded with cholesterol and cholesterol esters. Although quite common in adults, xanthomas in pediatric population are infrequent and when present, may represent a cutaneous manifestation of underlying lipoprotein disorders which most...

description Xanthomas are subcutaneous lipid deposits containing macrophages loaded with cholesterol and cholesterol esters. Although quite common in adults, xanthomas in pediatric population are infrequent and when present, may represent a cutaneous manifestation of underlying lipoprotein disorders which most often are familial. We report a case of an eleven-year-old female child, with multiple eruptive xanthomas of skin since two years of age, a positive family history and deranged lipid profile consistent with possible familial hypercholesterolemia.
