ABSTRACT
We report a 6-year-old male with primary hypercholesterolemia who had tuberous xanthoma. Yellowish nodules first appeared on the knees 3 years ago and gradually increased in size and number and also occurred on the left elbow. The laboratory findings showed markedly increased serum cholesterol and slightly increased triglyceride. Serum lipoprotein electrophoresis showed a marked increase in beta-fraction, suggesting type II hyperlipoproteinemia. Histopathology showed many aggregates of foam cells in the dermis and subcutaneous fat.
