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 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.
