Abstract
We experienced a case of xanthoma of the bilateral Achilles tendons with sitosterolemia, which is rare even in cases with hyperlipidemia. The tumorous tissue including almost whole part of the tendon was removed marginally, followed with reconstructive surgery using V-Y-advancement conbinding Lindholm's procedure. Diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of the disease were discussed.
