Abstract
A thirty-six-year old male who had tendon Kanthomas on his extremities was reported. He was associated with type-IIb hyperlipoproteinemia characterized by elevated serum cholesterol and triglyceride. Subtotal resection of the tumors was carried out, and he was satisfied with the result. The early recognition and evaluation of the patients with hyperlipoproteinemia, especially type-II, is important, because it has a tendency to develop atherosclerosis at an early age.
