Rajashekara Babu¹, Aniketh Venkataram, Shivashankar Santhosh, Sadashivaiah Shivaswamy.

Abstract

Tuberous xanthomas are papulonodular skin lesions present in lipoprotein metabolism disorders. A patient presented with multiple large swellings (up to 20 cm in size) all over the body, which on excision were found to be tuberous xanthomas. Investigations revealed the diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia. This case is reported to document the unusual presentation of giant tuberous xanthomas.
