Abstract
Xanthomas are lesions that are mostly located within the skin or subcutaneous tissue and consist of cholesterol and cholesterol esters. Xanthomas can occur at any site. They are mostly associated with Familial hypercholesterolemia. Although the clinical picture is variable, a high level of LDL cholesterol is the common manifestation. Here we report a case report on multiple Xanthomas in a 19 years old male.
