We report a case of a 40-year-old woman with hyperlipidemia and associated multifocal xanthoma of bone requiring prophylactic fixation of her bilateral femurs. Although xanthomas of bone are themselves a benign process, their presence may indicate that the patient has poorly controlled lipids and is at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Lytic lesions may require prophylactic fixation to prevent pathologic fracture.
我们报告了一例 40 岁女性，患有高血脂症和多发骨黄色瘤，需要预防性固定双侧股骨。尽管骨黄色瘤本身是良性过程，但它们的存在可能表明患者血脂控制不佳，患心血管疾病的风险增加。溶骨性病变可能需要预防性固定以防止病理性骨折。
