The presence of tendon xanthomas is an almost certain indicator of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). They also reflect coronary atherosclerotic burden and therefore must be treated aggressively. Tendon xanthomas also occur in two rare conditions, cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis and sitosterolemia, which are not easily confused with FH, can be easily differentiated with clinical history and biochemical tests.
肌腱黄色瘤的存在几乎可以确定为家族性高胆固醇血症（FH）的指标。它们还反映了冠状动脉粥样硬化负担，因此必须积极治疗。肌腱黄色瘤也会出现在两种罕见疾病中，即脑腱性黄色瘤病和谷甾醇血症，这两种疾病不易与FH混淆，通过临床病史和生化检查很容易鉴别。
