A case of xanthoma tendinosum associated with Fredrickson's type 4 hyperlipoproteinaemia.
Primary xanthoma tendinosum is a very rare condition. The cases so far reported in the literature (200) have been standardised and linked to Fredrickson's type 2 or type 3 hyperlipoproteinaemia. The case reported here, however, is allied to Fredrickson's type 4 hyperlipoproteinaemia.
