Cutaneous Xanthomas in a Young Child: Familial Hypercholesterolemia

A 6‐year‐old, non‐obese girl presented to the paediatrics outpatient department with a history of multiple, yellowish plaques, papules, and nodules over the body for past 1 year with a gradual increase in size. These lesions involved the bilateral elbow, knee, knuckle, lateral malleolus, gluteal region, and left upper eyelid and were associated with itching [Figure 1a‐d]. The nodules over the knuckles were cystic in consistency. There was absence of similar lesions and cardiovascular disease in other family members.
