Abstract

We report a case of bilateral Achilles tendon xanthoma as the first clinical manifestation of familial hypercholesterolemia. We review the literature and stress the need for orthopaedic surgeons to be familiar with this disease. An early diagnosis of this metabolic disorder is important to institute medical therapy and to alter the course of the disease before the onset of coronary artery disease.

摘要

我们报告一例双侧跟腱黄瘤作为家族性高胆固醇血症的首例临床表现。我们回顾了文献，并强调骨科医生熟悉这种疾病的必要性。早期诊断这种代谢紊乱对于开展药物治疗以及在冠状动脉疾病发作前改变疾病进程至关重要。
