Background: Xanthomas are cutaneous lesions, ranging from papules to nodules and plaques, consisting of infiltrates of lipid-containing histiocytic foam cells. These usually result from disturbances in lipoprotein metabolism leading to the accumulation and/or deposition of lipoproteins in plasma or tissue. This case report aims to present a patient with coexisting tubero-eruptive and planar xanthomas, associated with underlying hyperlipidemia.
