Xanthomas are described as deposits in the skin and subcutaneous tissues. Mostly known as pseudotumors, xanthomas consist of connective tissue containing mainly cholesterol, triglycerides, and numerous foamy macrophages. Bilateral Achilles tendon xanthomata is pathognomonic for cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis in the case of normal cholesterol levels but increased cholestanol levels in serum. In this article, we present findings regarding bilateral xanthomas of Achilles tendons in a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis.
黄瘤被描述为皮肤和皮下组织中的沉积物。黄瘤大多被称为假瘤，由主要含有胆固醇、甘油三酯和大量泡沫巨噬细胞的结缔组织组成。在胆固醇水平正常但血清中胆甾烷醇水平升高的情况下，双侧跟腱黄瘤是脑腱性黄瘤病的特征性表现。在本文中，我们展示了一名脑腱性黄瘤病患者双侧跟腱黄瘤的研究结果。
