Abstract
Multiple palmar xanthomas may often be seen first by the hand surgeon. One such case presented to us in the hand clinic. Further investigations revealed the presence of a more sinister metabolic problem of type III hyperlipoproteinemia. We discuss the details of this case and review relevant literature on the subject.
