Abstract
|
|
|
|
Tendinous xanthomas are often associated with type 2 hyperlipoproteinemia, in which low-density lipoprotein derived from the circulation accumulates in the tendons. Therefore, the demonstration of tendinous xanthomas is helpful in diagnosing familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). In this study, we describe the sonographic and MR features of the case of bilateral multiple xanthomas of the ankles and elbows in a 52-year-old female patient with FH.
